NW Biodiesel Network Discussion List signup instructions

We’re working to redesign (some might say “resurrect”) our website for 2010 to be more informative, and a go-to resource for those that want to find out more about Biodiesel as a viable alternative fuel for them, as a transportation fuel and even a heating fuel.  And to make it easier for you to make informed decisions.

In the meantime, I thought it might be handy to publish a couple of resources for you to check out.  One of these are the NW Biodiesel Network discussion list, which is a venue to post questions, and read up on what others are doing and finding out about BD in the PNW. Follow these easy instructions to get onto our Discussion List (basically a forum that works through email, to all list subscribers).  It's a handy place to read along and learn, or post your own questions for others on the list to offer answers to.

- To Subscribe to the NW Biodiesel discussion list, send an email request to:

            discussnwbiodiesel-subscribe@lists.groundwire.org

with the word “subscribe” in the topic line. 

 

You will then soon receive a confirmation email from the list agent (called “SYMPA” – so make sure it does not end up in your ‘Junk’ email folder), which will ask you to confirm your subscription by simply replying to the message.  Shortly thereafter you will receive an email notifying you that your request is pending, and upon approval you will begin to receive a digest of messages of discussion threads as they are updated, or daily (whichever is more frequent).

 

- To email a question to the list for others to answer:

Simply compose your question in an email and email it to discussnwbiodiesel@lists.onenw.org . 

Replies to your inquiry or topic will soon arrive in your email, as folks reply.  To answer questions that are sent out in emails to you, simply reply to the list email address.  Keep in mind if you reply to all, you will likely send the reply twice to the recipient...  (since they are on the list, too)

 

- To unsubscribe from the list (remove yourself from the updates), simply send an email to:

         discussnwbiodiesel-unsubscribe@lists.groundwire.org

 with the word “unsubscribe” as the topic line. Note that this is different than the original email address, as it contains the word "unsubscribe" in the email address.

You should then receive one last email from “SYMPA” confirming that your email address has been removed from the list.  Be sure to send this Unsubscribe request from the same email address you used to Subscribe to the list.  (FYI: in the new website plans will be a form to make this easier for you in the future…)

Happy Biodieseling!
