What is a listserv? The APC listserv is for the use of Ardmore Presbyterian Church and Weekday Preschool members and friends. This is NOT the official communication of the church. Instead, it is an online community bulletin board to share information, resources and news.
How do I become a subscriber? Send an email request to the listserve Administrator at admin@ardmorepres.org.
How do I send a message to APC listserv members? You must already be a subscriber then simply type ardmorepres@listserve.com in the "To" line of your message.
Who can I ask if I have questions about the listserv? Church Administrator, Raelyn Harman will oversee the administration of the listserv and will do her best to answer your questions. Either email her at admin@ardmorepres.org or call her at 610-642-6650x10.
What kinds of things are appropriate for posting to the APC listserv community? Announcements, news, information, resource sharing, or a need you'd like to make known and that is of general interest to the APC community (which includes the Weekday Preschool parents). Remember, that putting something on the listserv is equivalent to standing before the entire community and saying it aloud. Be sensitive to the impact of your words. Remember "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." (Luke 6:31)
The APC listserv is not a forum for political or topical debates or for that matter serious discussion. These debates and discussions are important, but they are outside the purpose of this listserv. We hope the listserv will facilitate face to face conversations. It is inappropriate to post negative comments about specific community members (known as flaming).
What happens if I answer a listserv message by hitting "Reply"? Your reply will go only to the person who sent the original message. If you wish to reply publicly to the list, be sure to change the address to ardmorepres@listserv.com. The list is set up this way because it is preferable to say something privately that you meant to say publicly (easily corrected) than to say something publicly that you meant to say privately (not always so easily corrected).
How can I tell when an email message came from the listserv? Each list message will have [ArdmorePres] at the beginning of the subject line. It is crucial that your subject line be succinct and accurate in describing your message. If your subject line is clear, individuals only have to read through messages that pertain to them or they are interested in.
I don't check my e-mail very often, but I'd like to be able to read listserv messages. If you check your e-mail infrequently, it makes the most sense for you to receive your listserv messages in "digest" form (messages will be sent in one bundle when a batch accumulates or at the end of each day, whichever comes first.) You can select this option by clicking on the link that appears at the bottom of each list message, logging into your account, and selecting "On" in the box that says "Set Digest Mode."
How do I unsubscribe from the listserv? Please unsubscribe yourself by going to the address at the bottom of each message. If you use Outlook, the Unsubscribe option is converted to an attachment. You can either open the attachment or request that the Administrator unsubscribe your email address.
