Wednesday, March 26, 2008 1:28:33 PM<br>Subject: [GALA-L] List subscription issues<br><br>Thanks to Kira for sending this message, a version of which I was just <br>about to post myself! More generally, I'd like to update everyone on a few <br>issues regarding GALA-L. First, I'm delighted that there's been so much <br>activity on the list recently, but for those who are feeling overwhelmed <br>and would prefer a daily digest format instead of individual messages, you <br>can choose that when you change your subscription options at the website <br>below. For those who no longer wish to subscribe, you can unsubscribe there <br>as well.<br><br>Second, one consequence of the increased list activity is increased number <br>of error messages to the listowners due to bad addresses, mailboxes over <br>quota, and people on vacation. I've removed a number of subscribers with <br>bad addresses; those who are over quota or on vacation, or those whose <br>servers
seem to go down repeatedly, have been placed on temporary "no mail" <br>status. If in future you suddenly stop receiving GALA-L messages, you may <br>be in one of the above situations; check your subscription settings first <br>and then contact me if you have problems.<br><br>Third, because there are over 700 subscribers to this list, it will be most <br>efficient if you manage your subscription yourself. If you go to the <br>website and have trouble, then you should feel free to contact me. PLEASE <br>DO NOT CONTACT THE LIST WITH SUBSCRIPTION PROBLEMS! It clutters others' <br>inboxes and you won't necessarily get the help you need.<br><br>Fourth, it's wonderful that we have so many subscribers to the list, but a <br>much smaller subset are members of the International Gender and Language <br>Assocation (IGALA), which is the organization that this list was designed <br>to serve. We're delighted to see so much interest in language and gender <br>and want
to keep the list open to anyone who would like to subscribe, but <br>we also want to strongly encourage subscribers to become members of the <br>organization. Membership includes a subscription to the journal Gender and <br>Language, voting rights, and other privileges. For more information, see: <br><<a href="http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/organisations/igala/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/organisations/igala/index.html</a>><br><br>Finally, in belated response to a subscriber request, I've now set the list <br>to include the subject header [GALA-L], which will help you to manage your <br>email from the list. Please feel free to contact me (not the list!) if you <br>have other requests.<br><br>Best,<br><br>Mary<br><br><br>--On Wednesday, March 26, 2008 11:20 AM -0700 Kira Hall <br><<a ymailto="mailto:Kira.Hall@COLORADO.EDU" href="mailto:Kira.Hall@COLORADO.EDU">Kira.Hall@COLORADO.EDU</a>> wrote:<br><br>><br>> Dear
Sean C Lynch Painting and others,<br>><br>><br>> For those of you who want to unsubscribe from the list, please do so<br>> yourself, instead of adding even more emails to our disgruntled<br>> subscriber email collections.<br>><br>><br>> Below is the unsubscribe info that Mary Bucholtz sends out to the list<br>> periodically and that you received in an email when you subscribed to the<br>> list. Good luck. I'm certain you can figure it out.<br>><br>><br>> Kira<br>><br>><br>><br>><br>> ****************************************<br>><br>> HOW DO I CHANGE MY SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS?<br>><br>><br>> To temporarily suspend delivery of messages, to unsubscribe, or to change<br>> your subscription options, go to the GALA-L homepage at:<br>><br>><br>> <a href="http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/gala-l.html"
