• Subject Field: Make sure the Subject field reflects the topic you are posting about. The "addhope" subject header is automatically created.
  
  
• Private Reponses: If you have a private response for another member, please be sure to cut and paste their e-mail address into the Mail To: field.
  
  
• No Harsh Posts or Flaming: Harsh posts are not acceptable. Listowner reserves the right to unsubscribe any member who violates common Christian behavioral standards.
  
  
• Email Readability: Please do not send posts in ALL CAPS and be sure to break long messages up into smaller paragraphs for ease of reading. Electronic Mail Etiquette has a great explanation of the basic rules of emailing.

How to Join

The ADD Hope List is an email list. It is located on a free site or listserver called Freegroups.net. If you register so that you can access member features, your information will remain private and will not be sold. Freegroups.net is a non-profit organization run by a Christian individual at no cost to members or list owners. Your subscription request will go to a List Moderator or Administrator for approval and may take 3-5 days for approval (we always try to do it faster).

You will receive a confirmation email. Click on the link in that email to open a confirmation web page. Choose your Delivery Methods and click. You will receive a Welcome email soon after. Your subscription request will then go to the listowner for approval, so be sure that freegroups.net is added to your Spam Filter "allowed" list or "whitelist". Please allow 1-3 days for approval. If your subscription is not approved within 3 days, please Contact the List Administrator. Be sure the subject includes the name of this list: ADDHope.

Choose the Delivery Methods you desire and click send on the blank email. The List Administrator will need to approve your email address for membership. This is a simple screening process to keep the list free of commercial spammers. Please allow 3-5 days for this approval. Thank you for your patience.
