ENCINA ALUMNI,

This group stuff seems to be confusing some of you so
I thought I'd take another stab at explaining how to
subscribe to the encinaupdate mailing list based on
the questions I've had from people so far.

ENCINA UPDATE GROUP

I appreciate those of you who've taken the time to
subscribe to your class and encinaupdate groups.
I think you'll find the class mailing lists a boon
to class communication. Quite a few have signed up 
for the class lists so far. If you've joined, try
sending an email to your classmates and get a discussion
going.

For those of you who haven't subscribed yet, here are
some instructions to clarify the process.

If you wish to receive the Encina Update in the future,
please do one of the following:

1. send blank email to encinaupdate-subscribe@egroups.com
DO NOT send blank email to harlan@rambus.com as numerous 
people have done. DO NOT send blank email to 
encina1973@egroups.com either.

2. go to www.encinahighschool.com , find the
egroups form, enter your email address and click on the 
"join group" button. This will take you to the egroups 
website, where you can join the encinaupdate group.

3. if you get stuck, send me an email and ask me to
subscribe you. I can add you to the encinaupdate group
although I cannot register for you.

I WILL USE THE ENCINAUPDATE GROUP TO DISTRIBUTE THIS
WEEKLY ENCINA UPDATE STARTING NEXT WEEK. So if you
wish to receive the Encina Update please follow these
"simple" directions.

EGROUP REGISTRATION

If you subscribed by sending a blank email to egroups,
please follow up by going to www.egroups.com and
registering so that your name will show up on your
class group. Otherwise, when people look at the
membership directory for your group, all they will
see is your email address and they won't know who
you are.

When you go to egroups.com, click the "Join for free"
button, enter your email address and click on the
continue button. egroups will send you an email 
containing your validation number. The purpose is
to prevent someone else from pretending to be you,
since they will not have access to the validation 
number.

The next page will ask you for your validation number.
Enter your validation number, name, zipcode and password
and you are registered.

CLASS MAILING LIST

If you wish to join your class mailing list, go to 
your class directory, find the egroups form, enter
your email address and click the "join group" button.
The rest of the procedure is the same as joining
the encinaupdate group as described above.

WARNING

You cannot send email to a mailing list unless you
are a member! You must subscribe/join the group first.


If you have problems over the weekend, please write
me at harlanlau@yahoo.com , my home email address.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I didn't think the 
transition would be so complicated. 

Good luck subscribing!
