List Netiquette - A Bit of Advice On Starting Out On Email Discussion Lists:
Here are a few suggestions for those of you who are new to the "lists" or keep getting run off of them and can't figure out why.

It is always good when joining a list to post a little intro and then lurk for a bit to see how things flow. All lists are different and it usually doesn't take long to gain perspective - kind of the "when in Rome" acclimatization. If you don't want to post an intro, then a pleasant non-confrontational comment on an ongoing thread is good. Or posing a new question to the list with an apology "sorry if this is an old question but I am new to the list" is usually well received. Newcomers with manners, even if they can't spell worth a hoot, are often embraced by the regulars on the list.

But never, never make your first post a flame. Even if your words are valid, the most lasting effect is a negative image of you. You know how they say first impressions are very important? Most people - even if they are a nutcase - have a least one person who thinks they are just fine. So right off the bat, by attacking someone, you have made them and all their buddies your enemies. This will last longer than any merit of your post.

Don't worry if a subject gets a bit nuts. Eventually it will die off and new subjects will come along. If you're particularly bored with a subject, suggest a new topic that does interest you. Taking a proactive stance with the lists you are on will make them much more enjoyable for yourself.

A Word Of Caution And A Bit Of Education On Virus Protection:
There have been a lot of problems lately with viruses being distributed on list services (I got sent Happy99.exe myself just recently). Email by itself can not infect you. Even the file attachments being sent cannot infect you. You have to actually execute the file that was sent for them to infect your system. Picture files or text files are not a problem because they are not executable programs. If anyone you don't know really well (and that doesn't necessarily mean anything!) sends you a file with an .EXE file extension (which IS an executable program), DO NOT RUN THE PROGRAM! You also need to be careful about accepting .DOC files for Word For Windows as they can contain macro viruses. To be safe, I highly recommend that everyone have a virus protection system installed on their machine. Listservs are VERY safe as long as you follow these simple guidelines.

Georgia BDSM Lifestyle
Highest recommendation.
This is the main community list for the area.

This is an adult only list oriented around the BDSM lifestyle in Georgia and the southeast. Our goal is to help bring the BDSM community closer together, and to help people new to D/s relationships and BDSM learn from experienced practioners already in the scene. We are pansexual, and everyone is welcome. The only restrictions here are discussions about child sex, snuff sex, or discussions that go against "Safe, Sane, & Consentual". Everything else is open for discussion. We expect everyone to be respectful and tolerant of others, and bad attitudes should be checked at the door. We're here to have a good time, learn about new things and techniques, and to meet friendly people with similar kinky interests. Play nice and let's see what develops. :)
