BayONet E-mail List
BAOC has an electronic mailing list called the BayONet. It's used by club members to plan future events, discuss event results, and discuss the sport of orienteering in general. You don't have to be a club member to subscribe; once you join, you can send e-mail to the group, as well as receive all the messages sent by other members.
- To subscribe to BayONet, just send an email to baoc-subscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoc-subscribe@yahoogroups.com), including a short message that "proves" you are interested in orienteering (i.e., so we can prevent spammers from joining the group). This will subscribe the e-mail account from which you send the message.
- To post a message to all the BayONet members, send e-mail to baoc@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoc@yahoogroups.com).
- To unsubscribe, send a blank e-mail to baoc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com). This will unsubscribe the e-mail account from which you send the message.
- If you have questions or need help, send an e-mail to the .
The BayONet also has a Web page at groups.yahoo.com/group/baoc that contains searchable message archives, a subscriber list, subscription management services, polls, chat, and file storage (for photos, maps, etc.). Access to the Web services requires a Yahoo ID (you don't need a Yahoo ID just to use the mailing list).
If you already have a Yahoo ID, then you may need to associate your subscribed e-mail address with your ID; go to Account Info at groups.yahoo.com and follow the instructions. If you want an ID, then go to groups.yahoo.com and make a Yahoo ID. Then there are a few steps to associate your new ID with your subscription to BayONet; follow the instructions at groups.yahoo.com, or contact the if you need help.
Monthly Schedule E-mail
Once a month, an announcement of upcoming events is sent to a list of subscribers to that service. This list is administered like the one for the BayONet, but the addresses are different. Unlike the BayONet, however, only the list administrators can post messages to the list.
- To subscribe to the monthly mailings, just send a blank e-mail to BAOC_Events-subscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:BAOC_Events-subscribe@yahoogroups.com). This will subscribe the e-mail account from which you send the message. Alternatively, you can join from the list's Web page: groups.yahoo.com/group/BAOC_Events.
- To unsubscribe, send a blank e-mail to BAOC_Events-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:BAOC_Events-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com). This will unsubscribe the e-mail account from which you send the message.
- If you have questions or need help, send an e-mail to the .
Like the BayONet, the Events list has a Web page at groups.yahoo.com/group/BAOC_Events. It contains the most recent announcement, both as the original email (but with the formatting corrupted [Thanks Yahoo!]) and as a downloadable file. Access to the file requires a Yahoo ID (you don't need a Yahoo ID just to subscribe to the mailing list, or to access the latest message on the Web page). See above for more information about Yahoo IDs.
BAOC Training E-mail List
BAOC has an additional electronic mailing list called baoct, which members use to discuss training in more detail or organize training activities. For example, we use it to organize the weekly running workouts in the South Bay. Make sure you join the BayONet, too.
- To subscribe to baoct, just send a blank email to baoct-subscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoct-subscribe@yahoogroups.com).
- To post a message to baoct members, send e-mail to baoct@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoct@yahoogroups.com).
- To unsubscribe, send a blank e-mail to baoct-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com (mailto:baoct-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com).
- If you have questions or need help, send an e-mail to the .
The baoct group also has a Web page, at groups.yahoo.com/group/baoct, that you can use to find out more about the list.
