List Members FAQ

I have this really cool picture, should I sent it to the list?

While some lists happily send dozens or even hundreds of pictures back and forth each day, some lists vigorously prohibit attachments of any kind, pictures, documents, files or programs. So carefully read the list rules (look for that list welcome message!) or ask the listowner before sending any kind of attachment to the list. If the list is hosted at Yahoogroups or Smartgroups, their website has an area designated for the list to store files or pictures and then you can post an announcement on the list about the file or picture, giving some info so that other members know what to expect before taking the time to connect to the net, log in and go to the files or photos area. For lists on other services that don't have a files or photo area, you can upload your file or photo to a free webhost like Geocities or Tripod and then post the website address (url) to the list and don't forget to give some info about the file or picture.
