A Listserv mailing list is a private e-mail discussion group. You can use it to get last-minute updates on club-related activities. Join the KOPSC Listserv today! (for KOPSC MEMBERS ONLY).

The eMogul and Monthly Mogul only come out once a month, and even our web site only gets updated every several days. So, nothing is as timely as a message posted on the Listserv. In addition, you can post notices that normally wouldn't be accepted for the Mogul or the web site:

• last-minute additions and changes in club events
• a great offer for two free passes to Blue Mountain
• reminders about events that you can sign up for at the last minute
• a last-minute cancellation on that ski trip you wanted to go on
• the Cajun dancing lessons that people are going to on Friday night

Any questions regarding the Listserv should be directed to Brian McDowell .

Here are answers to some of the more frequently-asked questions:

My e-mail is through my workplace - how can I be on Listserv without receiving notices at work?
You can register on the Listserv by using a free e-mail account through sites like Yahoo and Gmail. You can access them via the Internet, and they won't interfere with your workplace email account.

Won't I get a million e-mails a day from being on the Listserv?
Typically, only a couple of notices a week are posted on our Listserv, so you won't get inundated with unwanted emails. In addition, we've developed a usage policy to make sure our members aren't posting spam or other inappropriate messages. And, yes, we're enforcing it.

How do I sign up?
To join our mailing list, first open a new email in the email account where you wish to receive messages then send an email to "kopsc-subscribe@yahoogroups.com". Be sure to include your first and last name in the message text area so that the group moderator can verify that you are a current member of the ski club (we can't always tell who you are just from your email address).  If you are a new member, also include the approximate date you joined KOPSC. You will receive a message back containing information on how to use the list.

How do I post a notice on the Listserv?
Using the email address that you used to sign up for the Listserv, simply send your notice to "KOPSC@yahoogroups.com". The moderator will post the message for you. It will then go out to everyone who is a registered member. Once you are a member of the Listserv, you can also review old messages by signing into Yahoo groups (there are over 2000 archived messages).

How do I change my address on the Listserv?
To change your email address, first you need to unsubscribe from your old address. To do this, send an email to "kopsc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com". Then, subscribe using your new address (follow the instructions above).

What kinds of messages are allowed on the Listserv?
Basically, your message needs to be about an activity or event that the club membership might be interested in, such as those listed above. Maybe you've got some skis you want to sell. Maybe you want to get a group together to go to a Sixers game. Maybe you want to let people know about a bike ride that's coming up. They should not be personal messages, spam, e-mail jokes, chain letters or political crusades. For more info, see our usage policy.

So what am I waiting for?
We don't have an answer for that one ... sign up today!!
