RWC Social Group Rules
Welcome to the RWC Social list. PLEASE take a moment to review this
message.
This group is for RWC members who want to branch off from writing subjects
and talk about other things. I will ask that members be respectful of each
other, and that there me no flames. Any subject that does become food for
flames, will be asked to be taken off list.

FAQ About RWC Social
1) I sent a message to the group almost an hour ago, but it hasn’t shown up yet. Should I
resend?
Not yet. Almost always, any message sent goes through. Sometimes they don’t show up in
your own in box, but reach the group page and everyone else. So the first thing to do is to
check the group page and see if your message is there. If not, wait at least a few more
hours. Sometimes Yahoo has glitches that can slow down messages by hours. If you wait
and notice that other messages seem to be coming in to the group fine, then it’s time to
resend. This shouldn’t be a problem that you have to deal with often. More often than not
messages pop through to the group within a reasonable time with no trouble.
2) Can I use e-mail commands to change my membership settings?
Yes, sure can. Simply take the sub address for the group… RWCsocial-
subscribe@yahoogroups.com and change the command word in the middle of it to fit the
command you want. So if you want to stop getting messages for a while, you would send a
blank message to RWCsocial-nomail@yahoogroups.com. If you want to switch to daily
digest you would send a blank message to RWCsocial-digest@yahoogroups.com. If you
want individual messages you would send a blank message to RWCsocial-
normal@yahoogroups.com.
3) What is digest?
With daily digest instead of getting each message individually as it is sent to the group, you
will get about 25 of them in one message file, usually only once a day. It makes it really easy
to scan through subject lines and pick which messages you want to read or skip for those
who have very little time for an active group like RWC, but still want to take part.
4) I tried to send a file through to the group, but it didn't work. Why?
All RWC groups are set up so that no HTML or attachments can be sent through them to
members. This is a safety net to protect members from computer viruses.
5) I'm going on vacation for a couple of weeks and need to stop getting messages. Can I
do this without leaving the group?
Yes, you can by going "no mail". You can change your mail setting from the group's home
page here, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RWCsocial, or with a simple e-mail command.
See question number 2 for info on how to use e-mail commands.
6) The rules say no flames. I’m new to on line groups, so what is a flame?
A flame is an attack on a person or their opinions. A flame is a message sent with heat to it,
anger, or sharp words. It’s a message sent without thought or caring for the person you are
replying to or for others in the group who will have to see it. Tension isn’t a good thing for any
group. RWC is a warm, friendly place for writers, so flames are never welcome.
7) I have a new e-mail address. How do I change it with my groups so I can get messages
at the new address, or even at more than one address?
You can do it the hard way, and unsub from each group with the old address and resub to
each group with the new address, or you can do it the easy way. (I always say go for the easy
way if there is one.) The easy way: Go to any Yahoo Group home page, sign in, then click on
My Groups. The link for it can be found near the top of the page. Next you click on My Email
Preferences, then Add Email Address. You can follow the directions on the screen to add
your new address, a second or third address, or even remove an address. To pick which
address you want each group's messages to go to, you can click on My Groups, then on Edit
My Groups, and then use the pull down menus there to pick which address or addresses you
want to use, and even to pick how you want those messages delivered. When done, don't
forget to click on Save Changes. By the way, the address for a Yahoo Group's home page
can be found at the bottom of any message that comes through to that group.
8) Why does it matter if I forget to trim sometimes, or if I trim only half way?
A few reasons. One, tight trimming is the rule ALL of the time. Two, as many members as
RWC has, if even half of them start forgetting to trim sometimes, it would be a mess. Three,
those untrimmed or half-trimmed messages make the digest a real pain to get through, and
we have lots of members set to digest. Four, there are new members often, so think of those
new members who have their messages bounced back to them for not trimming, and then
right after their message is rejected, two messages come in that aren't trimmed or that are
only half-trimmed. That has to make those new members feel like they are being singled out
or picked on--and it doesn't make me feel very good either since I'm the one who has to
reject messages or send those reminders.
