List Etiquette
We have several hundred subscribers on this list, so when you are thinking of posting a message to the list make sure it is something that is suitable for all audiences and of interest to all, or at least most, of the people on the list. Since this is a contra dance group almost anything to do with contra dance should be fine. Discussions of events involving dance and music and other community activities may also be on-topic. There are certainly other things that will be of interest to the majority of the people on the list, but give it some thought before you hit send. Remember that replies go to the whole list, so if you want to reply to just one person edit the To: address in your email program.
If you signed up for the email list at one of our dances your subscription will be set by default to Special Notices Only. That means you will only get announcements of upcoming dances and other events. If you wish to be involved in discussions on the email list you can change your subscription settings by using the control links at the bottom of every message.
Marking a Message "Spam" Might Automatically Remove You From the Group
If you mark a message from this group (or any groups.io group) as spam, either intentionally or accidentally via your email's spam filter, the system may automatically remove you from the group. Check your spam folder regularly, and never delete a groups.io message directly from your spam folder (move it to your inbox first). If you are removed, check your inbox for a resubscribe link.
If you don't wish to read a particular topic just delete the messages or use the "Mute This Topic" link at the bottom of the message.
Subscription Controls
If you need to unsubscribe from the list, or make other changes to your subscription, you can do so by following the links found at the bottom of every message from the list.
