| Overview of Class of 1958 Email Lists |
|
58usma@west-point.org is the list that only six members of the class are
allowed to send messages. It is the most complete list and has roughly 440
addresses. It is for the monthly roster updates, death notifications, and
the semiannual EXCOM meeting minutes. usma1958@west-point.org is the original list that was set up for the class back in 1996 and is for class of 1958 subject matter only. This list is not for discussions like the forum. Replies to all are not permitted and violators of these rules will have their sending privileges suspended without notification. Turning this list into another forum would result in more people dropping off the list. This list has approximately 400 addresses. usma1958-forum@west-point.org is the wide open list. Any subject matter is permitted and replies to all are the norm. The only restriction is that postings should be in good taste and forego obscene language. This list has approximately 200 addresses. All the above lists are limited is size to less than 50kb. If you have a lengthy message be advised that the size can be reduced by sending in plain text (*.txt) format. HTML and other formats greatly add to the size of the message. No attachments are allowed on any of the above lists. They are automatically stripped by a program called “Stripmine” in order to avoid worms, viruses, and trojans which often hitchhike on attachments. Unfortunately this also means no images will go through. If you try to send an image you are just wasting your time and confusing your intended recipients by sending a blank message. There is one other list that is sender restricted. That is reunion58@west-point.org which is for the current reunion committee to send out information regarding the upcoming reunion. It has the same addresses as 58usma@west-point.org Other lists such as each company (see below), DC, PC, ski, golf, widows, wine, and stock pickers lists have their own rules established by their moderators. All the lists are closed lists which means that only messages sent from an address on the list will go through. If you have an email address change, let me know via email at buckalew@west-point.org before you try to send a message to the list from your new address. After you receive a welcome message from each of your lists at the new address, you are good to send from that address. If you are going on vacation and wish to drop off the forum during that time, let me know and I’ll drop you until you contact me again upon your return. Don’t contact the list and ask to be removed. I don’t read every message on the forum and only respond to messages sent to me directly. Dick Buckalew lists moderator for the Great Class of 1958 |
