The IAGLCWDC Mailing Lists
NOTE: All requests for membership to these lists are monitored and also require confirmation from the recipient before membership is approved. False subscribe requests are ignored.

The Purpose of the Lists    top

The IAGLCWDC mailing lists are for news and discussion of gay/lesbian country western dance related information. This includes information and activities from any of our member clubs.

Please use other venues to communicate "other" business.

All three lists are moderated and material that is not country/western related may be returned.

Messages sent to the lists are not necessarily the views or opinions of the IAGLCWDC. The IAGLCWDC, its officers, its delegates, its members, and its member clubs assume no liability for the contents of ANY and/or all messages posted to the lists.

How the Lists Work and How To Join One    top

The IAGLCWDC manages three e-mail list services, hosted by QueerNet, for news and discussion of gay/lesbian country western dance clubs and related information. All three lists are moderated. They are:

  1. Discussion
  2. Digest
  3. News
Normally, you would join only one of these mailing lists. But how do you decide which one you would like to join?

Following is a brief description of how each works.

  1. "Discussion"

    This is the "reflector" mailing list. This means that every time someone sends a message to the list, the message is immediately "reflected", or sent, to every "Discussion" subscriber's e-mail address.
     

  2. "Digest"

    This is the "digest" mailing list. This means that once or twice a day all the messages sent to the list are put together in a "digest", or single message, and sent to every "Digest" subscriber's e-mail address.

    This version of the mailing list is handy for people who prefer to get their messages occassionally and all at once, but is less handy for replying to the individual messages. It also means a slight delay in receiving messages.
     

  3. "News"

    This is the "news only" mailing list. It is used to send official news from the IAGLCWDC board of directors and includes our "Quarterly Roundup" Newsletter and info about future events from our member clubs. All messages from the "News" list will also be sent to the "Discussion" and the "Digest" lists. The news list is intended for people who don't want to receive the discussion messages.

Have you decided which list is right for you?

Some Q & A about this e-mail list service    top

What does it cost?
Nothing. The service is free.
Does IAGLCWDC pay for this service?
No. QueerNet provides this service for the IAGLCWDC for free.
Who pays for it?
QueerNet is entirely supported by charitable contributions. Once a year--yes, just once a year--subscribers to the e-mail list service will receive a message providing information on how to donate to QueerNet. But all subscribers receive the service for free whether they donate or not.
Once I join a list, how do I quit?
Every message you receive from the list contains simple instructions at the bottom on how to quit.

You can also quit a list from the list management page.
