Dear Listmembers, Sorry, that got last message got sent before I was ready.
You don't need a gmail account. All you need is - your current email - the ability to use an internet browser - a Google Groups account You only need the browser and the Google Groups for the day you subscribe to the list. Once more, with a little more explanation: Use your web browser to go to this webpage: http://groups.google.com/group/hurdygurdy/ Click on the link at the right side that says "Join this group". If you don't already have a Google Groups account, it will take you to where you create one. This is very easy: enter your email address and a password, and whatever nickname you want to be known by. If you already have a Google Groups account, you can sign in. If you have a Google Groups account and don't remember the password, there's a link to ask it to send you the password. Note that this is NOT an obligatory signup for a gmail account. Also, once you are subscribed to the new HG list, you need never use the Google Groups account for anything ever again. You'll now get an email in your usual email account which contains a link to confirm that you want to create the Google Groups account. Click on this link. You will now be back in the HG list group on Google Groups, where you can specify how you want to receive the postings from the group. You are now signed up with Google Groups, and you are subscribed to the list. All email postings to the new group have [HG-new] at the beginning of the subject line. We'll let discussions here wind down. Please start any new discussions on the new list. When you subscribe to the new list, you'll be able to see the archives, so you won't have missed anything. If you need help subscribing yourself, please contact me at this address, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Alden the Listmaster > The Google Groups help information at > http://groups.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=46438&cbid=-maem9jqr8uou&src=cb&lev=index seems to say that participation in a Google Group via a non-google email address is possible. > > I've been unable to track down details of how to do it, and have been unsuccessful with several other groups getting a subscription to work with anything except a gmail address. I hope Alden has found more information than I have about how to set up a google group to successfully work with email only subscriptions. > > -- > Dennis Sherman > Chicago, IL, USA > > > > ----- Original Message ---- >> From: Simon Wascher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: [email protected] >> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 3:52:37 PM >> Subject: Re: [HG] The Listmaster Speaks: the new group is active >> >> Hello, >> >> I will not set up an google account.
