Dear colleagues:
Periodically, I post information about this list, to update newer members. For others, please excuse this procedural note.
1. To post information to the list, please send e-mails TO ME (marsiske@ufl.edu), and not directly to the list. To control spam, I am the only one with posting privileges, and I ignore the (several dozen) messages send directly to the list everyday (because 99.9% of them are spam). If you send a message directly to the listserv, it will likely get deleted, because I will assume it is spam.
2. Listserv policies are posted at http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu/Division20Listservpolicies.doc . We generally only post _announcements_ in the categories of JOBS, STUDENTS, AWARDS, CONFERENCES, FUNDING, and INFORMATION. At the request of members, we do not treat the list as a discussion list, and generally do not post requests for information, rare texts, etc. We will occasionally post student roommate requests for conferences, if the student agrees to serve as a "matchmaker" for all responses he/she receives.
3. List membership changes dynamically as people join/leave the list. Once a month or so, we post the "latest" list membership at http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu/direct_new.htm. Because of the roughly one-month lag, recent changes will be reflected in list operation (i.e., you will start or stop receiving list e-mail), but may not be reflected in the online directory for several months. Note that addresses that experience frequence "bounces" or delivery errors may be automatically deleted from the list; this is not under my direct control. Many universities also now prohibit auto-forwarding of messages to commercial servers (e.g., hotmail, yahoo, msn, etc.). Finally, some universities treat listserv messages as "spam" and block it, unless you have list mail added to your whitelist. So, please check with your institutional IT support staff if you experience frequent delivery disruptions. You can always use the other ways of checking list mail (below) to verify receipt.
4. Instructions on how to add/delete/change an e-mail address from the list can be found at http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu/joinpsya.htm.
5. For those who do not want their e-mail inboxes filled with list messages, you can unsubscribe and there are now three alternative ways to receive list messages: - RSS/XML/ATOM feed: http://psyaging-l.blogspot.com/atom.xml - Listserv archives (searchable): http://apadiv20.phhp.ufl.edu/psyaging.htm - Automated weblog of list messages: http://psyaging-l.blogspot.com/
As always, thanks to all of you for being a great community!
Michael
