For a new member of a listserv, there are some guidelines to keep in mind. Listservs are communities of Internet users discussing a topic of mutual interest. Members appreciate it when messages posted to the list pertain to the general purpose of the list. It is recommended that new members spend a week or two just reading the messages on the list to get a sense of the listserv's prevailing traditions and etiquette, and to decide if the listserv is for them. The Internet has many discussion groups devoted to education topics.
Members subscribe to the groups and benefit from the wisdom and support of the group.
