<div>Tim,</div>

<div>This isn't specifically pertinent to this list, but I would love to hear what you see as the emerging mode of communication. I know young people don't read email anymore. But I have no idea how to communicate if I want to write more than 160 characters (or whatever a text is) and don't want everyone's facebook friends to read what I say to them. I'm so stuck in an old paradigm that I can't even conceive of how I'm supposed to communicate anymore. Perhaps I should ask a 20-year old ... and I will. But I would be very interested in your take on it.</div>

I am happy to help with subscribing Sherwood. But just so you all<br>know, every list message has a footer (which may show as an<br>attachment) that contains information for how to get to screens that<br>enable you to to manage your membership, including subscribing and<br>
unsubscribing, turning off mail, and so forth.<br><br>Also be aware that if you want to subscribe an additional email<br>(without necessarily having list mail go to that email), this is<br>easily done, saving me from having to manually approve your posts<br>
that come from the "wrong" emails. Just ask me via private email if<br>you need help with this. I am seeing a fair bit of (legititmate) post<br>attempts from non-subscribed emails. Lately I've been marking those<br>
emails to just be always allowed to post, so maybe this is a problem<br>that is already solved. Still, list mindfullness and understanding on<br>your part is a good thing, unless you prefer to allow the mysterious<br>hand behind the screen to control all.<br>
<br>I continue to be in awe of how well old clunky obsolete email works<br>to keep us connected. Just don't try to explain mailing lists to your<br>grandkids. In the grand sweep of history email is a tiny blip on the<br>
timeline that is coming to an end, but it still works for us, and<br>might even outlast us!<br><br>Tim<br>_______________________________________________<br>OE mailing list<br><a href="mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net">OE@lists.wedgeblade.net</a><br>
