Subject: [Ct-nfb] this list's creation


Hi all,
 
There seems to be a lot of questions about who created this list and why.
Also, why our members' email addresses were included. On Monday, I sent out
a general email to everyone stating that the office had decided to create
this list serve as a way to keep us all connected (I have pasted a copy of
it below this email).  I would use this list to disseminate emails that
would usually come from the office...such as "The Federationist",
legislative alerts, messages from our National Office, etc. By implementing
this list, we have also given chapters an opportunity to keep people in the
affiliate informed as to their activities. And, individuals now have a forum
to network with other members about issues concerning blindness and their
daily lives.
 
Over the years, I have accumulated a list of members and interested people
who have indicated that they would like to receive emails from our office.
Any of these emails were included in Monday's email from my office email,
and they were also included in our list serve. While I understand the
initial frustration with all the activity this list has generated over the
past couple of days, I'd urge you all to be patient and remain on the list.
If you remove yourself, you will not be receiving emails from us at all. I
will no longer be sending general emails to all of you from the office email
address, and each chapter contact person will no longer be forwarding emails
either. We will work to remove emails of those who requested it as soon as
possible.
 
If you have further questions, please consider asking our moderator Justin
Salisbury at salisburyj08 at students.ecu.edu or myself at llee at nfbct.org
rather than addressing the whole list. Please remember that when you hit
'reply' to any emails that you receive from our list, you are responding to
the whole list, not just one person.
 
Thanks,

Dear all,
 
The National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut is developing an
listserv to provide better communication between our members and friends,
and our chapters and divisions. This list will be used to provide
information about issues of importance to the blind, news from our Affiliate
and the National Office, job openings in the State of Connecticut, as well
as announcements of the activities of our chapters, the affiliate and the
NFB. Our moderator will be Justin Salisbury; he can be reached at
salisburyj08 at students.ecu.edu. You have, in the past, received forwarded
electronic information from our office email addresses or a chapter contact
email address. Such information will now be coming from
<mailto:ct-nfb at nfbnet.org> ct-nfb at nfbnet.org
 
Thanks,
