Welcome to the Sacramento Bike Hikers˘ Yahoo Group!
This message is sent to all subscribers upon joining, as well as every quarter to the entire list. The group primarily serves club members, though membership in the club is not a prerequisite to joining the groups. The purpose of the BHForum e-group is to provide a forum for general discussions, commentary, and other topics of interest to the club, cycling community, or individuals. Additionally, news and information presented on Bikehikers e-group may be redirected to this forum for a more in-depth or personal discussion.
The BHForum e-group is an active group, and you may find a lot of "chatter" going on that may not interest you. There are a couple of alternatives, if you don't want your email box filled with chatter. One is to turn off delivery of email altogether, and the second is to get a daily digest. Both can be done by logging into the BHForum group at groups.yahoo.com and clicking on "edit membership." Either way, you can still access the message archive at the group site and read only the messages that interest you.
Also, bear in mind that while messages in the Bikehikers e-group are moderated, the BHForum is generally unmoderated. Please observe the rules (see below). The moderators will take action if the rules are broken.
1) No Flaming - on or off-line. Be civil to each other.
2) Please post your real name in your messages.
3) No cross-postings.
4) NO chain letters, virus alerts, political endorsements, or copyrighted materials.
5) KISS -- Keep It Short and Simple. Trim quoted material, and keep your signatures short. Be sure to trim your post when responding to another post.
6) Use an appropriate subject. Summarize your post in the subject. Descriptive subjects get more attention.
7) Use discretion. Post prudently, and send private emails when appropriate. The e-group basically is rated PG-13.
8) Please minimize attachments as they may or may not go through. If you have several attachments, post them to the Files or Photos areas of the e-group.
9) Set your email program to submit inline text. HTML or other formatting works very unreliably and sometimes will not come through at all.
10) If you are posting something for sale, or otherwise looking for private answers, put your email ID in the body of the message. Yahoo filters out the last letter of your address in order to inhibit spam robots from picking addresses out of the archives.
Thanks for joining our group and we hope to see you on one of the club rides soon. |
