Greetings! My name is Adam Parrish. I've been a mailing list
enthusiast for a long while. Currently I'm taking a technical writing
class here at Weber State University, and in this class the instructor
requires each student to write a paper on an electronic discussion group
that relates to their desired field. I have chosen to write a report
to help the students along in finding and participating in mailing lists.
If you would, please consider the following questions:
- What are the most common problems that first-time mailing list
subscribers have when trying to get on a list? How can these be avoided?
- How long should a first-time subscriber observe a list before
trying to participate in discussion? What is the best way to present
yourself to a mailing list when trying to get specific answers?
- Are there any problems that people have unsubscribing from
your mailing lists? How can these be avoided?
- What, in your opinion, are the major advantages of mailing
lists over other collaborative electronic media, i.e., newsgroups,
web-boards, etc.?
I'm sure you've discussed issues like this before on this mailing
list, but I'm hoping to spark a little discussion. :) If you have any
more information regarding mailing lists and mailing list technology that
you would like to share, please contact me.
Thanks for your help,
Adam Parrish
