From ap_wallace at yahoo.com Wed Dec 14 02:56:30 2005 From: ap_wallace at yahoo.com (Andrew P. Wallace) Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2005 02:56:30 -0800 Subject: [OldNorthBoard] Fwd: Re: [OldNorth] Planning for 435 G In-Reply-To: Message-ID: On the website.... Only members of the mailing list can post to the mailing list (anyone can automatically become a member of the mailing list). If a request is rejected, then the person who received the notice of a rejected posting receives a message with information on the problem. This all happens automatically without any personal intervention. Also, to get posted on the website, the request generally needs to be specific (i.e. "Please post to the website" or "Please post to members", etc) At this point, if there are any meeting minutes on the meeting, then we can post those.
