DISCUSSION FORUMS
Discussion forums are groups that you subscribe to. There is
no fee to subscribe. At present, several forums are dedicated to the
topic of stuttering. When you subscribe to a discussion forum, you will join a group
of people interested in stuttering who ask and answer questions,
offer suggestions, discuss issues, evaluate therapy programs, etc. Subscribing to a list assumes that you will follow the certain rules of Netiquette as well as the general rules posted by the list owner.
After you subscribe to a listserv, you will receive any message
sent to that address. You can read them and reply to them (if you
choose to), either replying to the entire group of subscribers, or to
the individual who posted the message. It is important to remember
that if you send a message to listserv@rest.of.address, you are talking
to a computer. You write to the computer to subscribe to the group, to
review who else is subscribed, to check the archives, to signoff, etc.
When you send an email message to the stutt-lists@rest.of.address
described below (stut-hlp, stutt-l, stutt-x, sid4, stot-ml, wordfree) you are sending a
message to everyone subscribed to that list - probably close to 300
people. You can also search the archives to find past discussions.
Before you ask questions on mailing lists, you will find that
Lou Heite's information on Posting Questions on Discussion Forums is very helpful.
