Re: [gecko]Emails
Hi Rocky, Are you clicking on the gecko mailing list link at the bottom of each post? That should lead you step by step through the unsub process. I have used it once or twice without any issues. The webmaster is going to get tough on folks still using HTML real soon, no worries there. For Barbara, what browser do you have? With Netscape you go to your address book, click on the e-mail address, bring up the address card, look under internet and select prefers to receive messages formatted as: plain text (on the drop down menu). Julie B. Rocky Rodenbach wrote: Good point. I've written s few times in the past and have gotten good advice from this group. I tried to unsubscribe a couple different times, but I still keep getting the list. The reason I want to leave is, the gecko I caught about a year died shortly after I caught it, and I needed some advice while I had it. I love reptiles, so I still skim through all the mailing I get from the list. But how in the world can I stop all the HTML tags at the end of the messages?? It's real anoying.

I'm sure no-one on here wants newbies to feel that way. I do feel that newbies should do their share of reading and research to be well grounded in gecko husbandry. Folks here do a great job of recommending where to go and how to do that research. The GGA bookstore is a good place to start. I hope not to alienate any one on this list, a few have helped me greatly, and you lurkers speak up your question and the answers of others help people who wouldn't have thought to ask. In the past I have referred folks to the archives to review topics we have covered extensively here. This is still a good idea, however, the newer archives are somewhat difficult to use as they go month by month as far as ability to search. The older archives before Sept 2002 are easier to search as the search covers the whole older archive at once. If you are a shy newbie or old timer the archives are a great source of info.

Hi Brandon, What was the Canadian connection, did you get them from Canada or I am mistaking this for another person? Julie B.

Re: [gecko]emails
first off, you have to remove yourself. Second off, if you wanted some information, you should have asked. Jared
Re: [gecko]emails
Well said Jared, if you don't ask, how can we help? Some of us are friends here and have been on this list for years. We are a little informal at times because of this. Many of us became friends because of this list. Some folks we'll never meet because they are lurkers and like to stay that way. We help each other with anything gecko, that is the purpose of the GGA. The info to remove yourself is on the bottom of each post. When joining a list it is practical to keep unsubscribe info handy in case it is not to your liking. Julie B.
