Listserv How-To's

National Member Listserv
The Listserv is offered as a tool for NAMSAP members to communicate with one another on an electronic basis. Sign-up for the NAMSAP Members Listserv and network with your colleagues.

Use the following http://www.namsaplists.org to join NAMSAP National Listserv.

If this action does not open to the Biglist website, simply cut and paste this link into your internet address box. Once at the website, click on the list that you wish to be subscribed to and follow the directions. You will receive a confirmation email. By following the instructions on the Website we will be able to confirm that we have the correct information on file for you and to make any necessary changes.

Once approved as a list member, you can post messages to the list by sending e-mail to: members@www.namsaplists.org

The Listserv is not moderated and so we ask that all participants abide by a few rules of etiquette.

Messages to the listserv are delivered to all participants. Please remember to...

Keep paragraphs and messages short and to the point.
Focus on one subject per message.
Limit line length and avoid control characters.
Be sure your message word wraps so the receiver gets the entire message.
Include your signature at the bottom of your messages. Your signature footer should include your name, firm, and not only your complete e-mail address, but your telephone and fax numbers as well.

It’s Not Just What You Say...

Be professional and careful about what you say about others. E-mail is easily forwarded and cries of libel and slander can result.
Refrain from making off color comments or suggestions, they are not professional.
Be careful when using humor or sarcasm. Without face-to-face communication your joke may not be taken as such.
When quoting from other sources, please give appropriate attribution.
Conversations about pricing and/or fees will not be tolerated. To avoid any implication of anti-trust steer clear of these topics.

It’s How You Say It...

When responding to a message *edit out* whatever is not directly applicable to your reply. Including the entire original message is a waste of space and annoying to those reading it.
Capitalize words only to add emphasis or highlight an important point. *Asterisks* surrounding a word also can be used to make a stronger point. Also, please remember that all caps is universally perceived in e-mail as SHOUTING, turn off the caps lock.
Avoid symbols. Since most of the participants on the Listserv are not Internet proficient in the symbolism of e-mail, avoid using even the most commonly used e-mail symbols; let’s stick to text only.
As we all know, there are a multitude of messages that come across the Listserv daily. To keep the load manageable, please respond privately to requests for referrals, and any other message that asks you to respond privately.

Problems: If you have ANY problems related to the Listserv, *please* do not post them to the list. List managers are at your disposal for this very purpose; please feel free to contact us:
