If you haven't yet, feel free to post an introducation and tell us about yourself and your interests. 2. If you click "Reply" to a post, your reply will only go to the person who sent that post. Thus our default reply is to the individual previous post rather than the entire list. When you want to post your reply to the entire list, make sure to reply to or cc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] We are maintaining the default as such so private reply messages are not mistakenly sent to the entire list. 3. We apologize to those of you whose messages have bounced back or who have received a message saying that ‘your post must be reviewed by the system administrator’. This may happen if you post from an email account other than the one you used to subscribe to the list. 4. As you’ve probably noticed, the list managers have posted messages that come from "List Manager" or [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the future, these posts will come from "List Manager." The function of the list manager is twofold: a) to present topics and provide links/context with the hopes of generating discussion, b) to help guide list culture by providing list updates (like this one) and enforcing the list rules. The list managers may post from personal accounts to voice opinions, offer analysis, etc., and are subject to the same responsibilities as list members. We invite list members to respond to the content posts by list managers; we also invite you to spark discussion and debate by posting links to stories, posing questions, sharing thoughts on daily experiences, and responding to other member posts. 5. You can access our archive at www.e-democracy.org/chicago. Currently the most up-to-date archive is accessible only to subscribers; to access the current archive, you must sign in with the password that came with your subscription to the list. The public archive is delayed by approximately 24-48 hours and does not require a password to access. This double archive is in place to protect the privacy of subscriber email accounts. When public, email addresses may not be culled from the archive and are thereby protected from spam harvesters. (Note: the public archive should be up in the next day or two.) 6. When signing your posts, please include your ward # and/or neighborhood. For example: > Amanda Ruch > Lakeview/44th Ward To find out what ward you are in and the name of your alderman, visit www.cityofchicago.org --> click 'For Residents' ---> then under Community and Neighborhood, click 'Ward and Alderman list.' 7. When you reply to posts, please delete all of the previous post that is inessential to your current comments. This is important to keep posts a managable size and especially critical for those of you that receive the digest version, as the entire previous digest gets reprinted if extra material is not deleted. 8. If you have any problems or questions for the list manager team, contact us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for participating!
