How to subscribe to the mail list
I've got a lot of information on this page that you may need to refer to while subscribing so you probably want to print this out.
To subscribe to an eGroups list, you must register. You only need to register the first time you're subscribing to an eGroups list. I've made it easy for people to subscribe to our list. The URL is:
http://www.egroups.com/subscribe/xs11
or you can click on one of the two links at the bottom of this page. After you click on the link below, follow the instructions. If you have never registered for an eGroups list you will need to register. The link to register is just below the Log In text and it's easy to miss so look for Click here to register.
Enter your email address and password. When you are asked,
How your email address is displayed on the website:
please choose complete address
It's up to you if you want to check the other two boxes
The next screen asks you to Verify Email Address and for some additional information. The only fields I request that you fill out are:
- Your First Name
- Your Last Name
- Your Year of Birth
- Your City
- Your State/Province
- Your Country and
- Your Timezone
You can fill out the other fields if you want but it's not as important. This info is important to have because it may be replacing the owners list webpage.
Once you have filled out the Registration Form screen, you will be sent a confirmation email. This is to verify that we have the correct email address for you. The confirmation email will contain instructions on how to reply and get your subscription confirmed. Until you reply to the confirmation email, you will not be subscribed to the list.
If you don't receive your confirmation email, or accidentally delete it, you can have another one sent to you. Go to the eGroups web site and select the Member Center link on the menu bar on the left. There will be a button to send you another confirmation email.
You have two ways to confirm your account.
- reply to the email
- click (or cut and paste into your browser) the link in the message body. (This is the easiest method.)
If you're not sure if you want to subscribe to the digest or to normal version, please read what's a mail list.
Once you are confirmed, you are registered for the normal version of the list. However, if the idea of a hundred emails a day (give or take a few) is too much for you, you may want to switch to the digest version of the list.
Should you ever wish to unsubscribe from the mailing list or change your subscription to Digest mode, you can do so through the Member Center.
