Honduran Discussion List Guidelines
 The
below list should be considered just that - guidelines. Think of them
as rules of the road in order to make the list as useful as possible
for everyone.
- Honduras
and Environs Only. The list is exclusively for discussion about
Honduras and Environs. Please don't send chain mail, non-related jokes
or even virus warnings. Since the list is configured to delete all
attachments, you can't get a virus through the messages.
- Promotion
of Your Business,
Land for Sale or other Commercial Venture is Limited to travel-to-honduras.com
Customers. It is inexpensive to become a customer, especially considering
the benefits. Please contact us now to learn
how.
- Send
an Intro. After joining, please send along an introduction telling
the other members who you are and what you would like to learn or
offer about Honduras and Environs.
- Plain
Text Messages. If you know how, turn off HTML messages. This means
all backgrounds, bolding, colors, etc. are not inserted. Some Members
use plain text email programs and only see gobbly gook instead of
your intended message.
- Be
Considerate of Others. Consider the reactions of others before
sending a message with profanity, prejudicial remarks or anything
outside the realm of what would be acceptable in a public forum. This
is a place to exchange information among friends.
- Trim
Previous Messages. When replying to a message, remove all but
the most relevant parts. This is particularly important if you are
replying to the digest version.
- DON'T
USE ALL UPPER CASE. ON THE INTERNET IT IS TAKEN AS YELLING AND
CAN BE ANNOYING TO READ.
Use a Clear Subject. When we have a high volume of messages, it makes
them easier to skim. It is especially important to put in a subject
if you are on the digest version. "Honduras digest, Vol 1 #95
- 18 msgs" is not very descriptive.
- Don't
Post Thank You's and Me Too's to the List. Please send these types
of messages directly to the person. There's no reason everyone should
read them.
- Don't
Flame other Members. This goes for both on or off list. If you
have a problem with a member please email the list moderator at travel-to-honduras.com
- Don't
Annoy the Moderator. This list is a volunteer effort and much
time has been spent on it. High maintenance persons who are using
the list to work out personal issues will be unsubscribed.
- Send
Suggestions. If you have any suggestions or problems with the
list, please send the moderator a message at travel-to-Honduras.com
- Have
Fun!
Also,
if you would like to access even more features of the list like reading
messages on the web, seeing archives, polls, calendar, using the chat,
etc., here are the steps if you are not already a member of Yahoo and
don't have a Yahoo ID. This is a one time process. After that, you can
enter your ID and password and go right into that section.
- Go
to http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups
and click on "Sign me up."
- Fill
in the form, making up an ID (BobWilliams, etc.) and for your alternate
email, put in the email address you are signed up with on the Honduran
Discussion List.
- After
you finish the form, you will be redirected to a page with your email
and ID. Click on "Continue to Yahoo Groups"
- At
the top of the next page click on "Already a member of Yahoo!
Groups? Use our Account Wizard to find your subscriptions!"
- On
the page that comes up, enter your email and password.
- A
page will come up with a congratulations, "You've linked your
groups..." Click on "View my Groups". You are finished.
In the future, you can visit http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups
enter your ID and password (hint: click on save password to never
have to enter it) and be right in the Honduran Discussion List area.
If you
don't want to deal with any of this, you can just send mail to travel-to-honduras@yahoogroups.com
to send mail to the list. You will receive mail automatically. If you
have any questions, please let us know.
