Yahoogroups

Most of you who're reading this know that we've a yahoogroups representation. This post is mainly to benefit those who doesn't. Yahoogroups is a community group that can be setup through the internet, for communicating, discussing or broadcasting anything. This group is similar to any other physical group of people, in the sense that it will have one or more moderators and administrators (an administrator is defined as a moderator of moderators). The group can consist of any number of members, who will need to register first to the group to participate in all discussions in the group. Typically, adminstrator will first send an invite to somebody who requests membership, who accepts it and thus become a member. After registering, you'll have the choice to edit your profile, where you can choose, among many other settings, to receive either individual emails (on each occasion) or a summary of mails (once a day) about the activities that happen in the group.

One frequently asked question about registering to the group is whether one needs to have a yahoo email-id? No, it is not required. You can register with any email-id & the email will be send to the appropriate address. However, if you need to moderate/administer the group, you'll need a yahoo id.

Our yahoogroups id is PalmCourtResAssoc@yahoogroups.com. We've two admins in the system as of now - Dr.Satish (102, Palm Court) and myself. If you wish any of your family members also to be part of this group, please approach any of us. Given that Dr.Satish won't be available for next few weeks (on a visit abroad), please approach me for any help with this. I will send you the invites, which you need to accept (click a button) in order to become a member.
