The TBPL is an association of Texas beauticians. They lobby the State Legislature on issues affecting the beautician business. They extensively use their mailing list on Labnet. Members of the organization are located all over the state, so they have found the mailing list to be a great communications tool. Since then, the group's officers have issued press releases, and other articles to the mailing list.
Members can reply to the list's news.
Some discuss the points further by simply replying back, which also goes out over the whole list, creating a dialogue on the issue. In fact, the group's officers added a second mailing list to their account, which is used exclusively by their 8 state-wide officers for the purpose of conducting a closed discussion on the group's operations and event planning. The Faulkner Book Club is an appreciation society of the written works of William Faulkner, with members located throughout America, plus a few in other countries. They now use Labnet for its web page, and they have a complete virtual presence online. Their web page contains their logo, plus complete information on the club.
