Betta listserv
Instructions and list policy

To subscribe/unsubscribe you may do it here... Subscribe -- Unsubscribe


A Betta dedicated listserv is available to subscribe to.
You may get individual emails sent to you or have them put into
a daily digest format. This is a great place for people new to Bettas
to post messages.

The Betta listserv is owned and moderated by Cynthia Powers
Cynthias homepage is here

To subscribe to the listserv you must send the command...

subscribe bettas First_Name / Last_Name
in the BODY of the message to listserv@listserv.aol.com
:-- no subject line is required, but any is ok...

To UNsubscribe to the listserv you must send the command...

unsubscribe bettas First_Name / Last_Name
in the BODY of the message to
listserv@listserv.aol.com
:-- no subject line is required, but any is ok...

To send a message to the listserv you must send the message to
bettas@listserv.aol.com

It is advisible to create a useful and pertinent subject line.

Many people get hundreds of email msgs a day and look over the subject line for interesting emails, vague subject lines sometimes get deleted without being looked at.

List policies as of 3/4/00 are as follows:
  1. When you're replying to a post on the list, please include only enough
    of the original post so that your comments make sense. Para-phrasing
    is fine (e.g., "Sarah wanted to know if 500 fry in a spawn was normal")
    Also, please do not re-post headers or .sig from the original email.
  2. If someone has asked for input or information that wouldn't be of interest
    (or isn't applicable) to the list at large, please reply to that
    person by private email. (E.g., "If you want to be on my breeders
    page, send me your name, address and what you have˙to sell/trade.")
  3. Re-posts of someone else's article should be okayed by the author before
    reposting. Please put "Reposted with permission of " at the
    beginning or end of the post. If you want to know all the reasons
    for this, write to me and I'll be happy to explain.
  4. No ads by commercial-scale operations.
  5. Textual abuse (AKA flaming) is not acceptable here. Flaming will get you
    summarily removed from the list and you won't be allowed to
    re-subscribe.
  6. Please do not post "I'm looking for <....> betta. Does anyone have
    any fish they can sell" posts to the list. The Bettas list publishes
    a weekly "ad" post; please direct fish wanted or fish for sale posts
    to bettas-request@listserv.aol.com for inclusion.
    The "ad" post is issued on Saturdays with the subject: Bettas
    Marketplace.
  7. Do not, under any circumstances, post "warnings" about new viruses,
    appeals for dying , get rich quick plans or any
    other SPAMs to the list.
  8. Please do not post image files (gif, tif, jpg, etc) to the list.

bettaevent@yahoogroups.com

or visit the group online at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bettaevent

It is advisible to create a useful and pertinent subject line.

Just like the betta list, many people get hundreds of email msgs a day and look over the subject line for
interesting emails, vague subject lines sometimes get deleted without being looked at.
