IUG-Talk mailing list open

The IUG-Talk mailing list is now open for business. I've enclosed the full announcement below in case you missed it last week. Let me know if you have any questions not answered below. Thanks, Walt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail Discussion List for Informix User Groups This is to announce a new electronic mailing list for the discussion of issues related to Informix user groups. The list is named IUG-Talk, and its home site is the system rmy.emory.edu. This list is being formed so that people in the various local and regional Informix user groups, and others interested in user group issues, can communicate about their common problems and the solutions they develop. It will also provide a forum for discussing the relationship between Informix and its user groups, both individually and collectively. I have started this new list since its goals are different from the technically oriented Informix mailing list and Usenet newsgroup comp.databases.informix. The IUG-Talk list will not be gatewayed into any newsgroups. Membership in the list is open to anyone, including end-users, vendors and employees of Informix Software, Inc. The list is unmoderated, so members are solely responsible for its content. Digests will be generated of each week's traffic on IUG-Talk. To receive these digests automatically via e-mail, subscribe to the list IUG-Talk-Digest. You may be on either or both lists. However, if you wish to contribute to discussions, you must be on the IUG-Talk list. Posting to IUG-Talk-Digest is not allowed, since it is solely for distributing the digests. The list is maintained by automated list management software. Administrative actions related to the list are requested by sending an e-mail message to the address "majordomo@rmy.emory.edu" with one or more commands in the body of the message. The Subject line of the message will be ignored. Some commands of interest are: Command Line Majordomo Action ---------------------------- -------------------------------------- help sends a help listing by reply e-mail subscribe iug-talk [address] adds your address to the IUG-Talk list who iug-talk sends a list of addresses on IUG-Talk info iug-talk sends the IUG-Talk information file end last majordomo command in a message If you want IUG-Talk messages sent to an address other than the one from which you send your subscription request, add the recipient address as a third parameter after the list name in the "subscribe" command line. Place an "end" command after the last Majordomo command in your message if it will be followed by any other text such as a signature block. PLEASE NOTE: Even though the Informix mailing list Informix-List is also currently based at rmy.emory.edu, there will be no operational interaction between it and the IUG-Talk list. This is not to say that a subscriber might not post the same message to informix-list/comp.databases.informix as to IUG-List if the subject matter is appropriate, of course. However, no Informix-List addresses will be automatically added to IUG-List. You'll have to subscribe to get on the new list. If you have any problems with subscribing or other list commands, please let me know. Thanks, and hope to see you on IUG-Talk.
