> The new list has its own web page
> //www.freelists.org/webpage/hfbeacons. This page contains basic
> information on the list including how to subscribe. I will, in time, add
> all the information in this email to the web page.
>
> You can subscribe to the new list in two ways. Either
>
> 1) Subscribe by email. Send an email to this address

> Or
> 2) Subscribe from the //www.freelists.org/list/hfbeacons web page.
> Using the user options at the bottom of this page enter the email address
> you wish to subscribe, select the <Subscribe> action and click <GO!>

> Both subscription processes will require you to confirm the subscription
> by email. When you receive the email asking to confirm the subscription
> please reply to this email - you must do this for the subscription to be
> accepted. (When you subscribed to the old list you had to so the same
> thing). Please note that you may also receive an email confirming the
> subscription request, but as this list is open to everyone the request
> will be confirmed automatically - you can ignore the request confirmation
> email.
>
> If you have problems in subscribing then you can ask me to make the
> subscription for you, but please try the processes described above first.
> Contact me directly at steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx not via the mailing list. I
> would like to know why you couldn't subscribe so I can try to make the
> process clearer for future users.
