Neighbors, The Neighborhood list has served Highland Park for over 7 years now and has grown to include more than 1400 subscribers. The community volunteers running the list (hi, Bob!) hope you all find the list useful, but with so much activity on the list there will always be something posted that you are not interested in. Or perhaps there are too many messages cluttering your inbox. If you're not happy with some aspect of the list, please take one of the actions listed below. But first, let me tell you what NOT to do: please don't report a list posting as spam or junk. Why not? Well, when you do that, your mail provider can take actions that affect all of their users who subscribe to the list, not just you. They might even share the report with other mail providers, affecting even more subscribers. I mention Yahoo, because right now they are delaying all messages from the Neighborhood list. They give the reasoning that they have received "too many complaints". While I have asked them to stop delaying the messages, they are unlikely to stop for long (if at all), since all it will take is for a couple of users to hit the "spam" button again. Here's what you CAN do: * Delete the message(s) you don't care for. It's the simplest option and no one else will be offended! * Use the filtering capabilities of your mail program or provider to move lists posts to a folder other than your inbox. The specifics of how to do this vary from mail provider to mail provider. The list does however identify itself as a mailing list in special headers that many filtering systems can use automatically. And of course the words "[Highland Park]" occur in each subject line in case that's your only way to identify the list. * Switch to a digest subscription if you want to receive fewer mailings. Multiple posts will be sent in each mailing, resulting in fewer messages. * Unsubscribe if you have moved, are no longer interested in the postings, etc. * Write to neighborhood-owner@highlandparkpa.com for assistance. We can't guarantee instant response (we're volunteers, remember? :) but will try to help you. Every message sent through the list also has a link at the bottom that takes you to a page of information about the list (including its broad policies) and an interface to login to manage your subscription. If you don't know your password there's a way to reset it. Thanks, Rudy
