Drivers & Believers - Hyundai Elantra GT

Click for Advertising Information sent direct to your InBox

I. THE CONCEPT

The Elantra GT mailing list is a forum in which owners, admirers and those interested in the car can participate in free-flowing email-based chat on their favourite subject.

It is also a forum in which tips on driving, caring for and enjoying the car, as well as solutions to problems can be shared.

Unlike web-based bulletin board type fora, this is a subscriber-only medium in which discussions are public among mailing list members only. Posts are not viewable by the general public.

The mailing list is 'moderated', which means that the moderator is there to guide the flow of the discussion threads or to intervene whenever there is a problem.

II. SCOPE AND STAYING ON TOPIC

Included in order of preference are:

Any and all discussions relating directly or obliquely to the Hyundai Elantra GT
Discussions of other Hyundai models
Discussions of other sporty compact cars

Excluded are:

Any and all postings contrary to the above, and which detract from the ambience of the mailing list will be considered "off topic" and will be discouraged.

Off topic posts are further defined as, and are not limited to:

spam;
frivolous postings;
wanton and repeated regurgitations of complete articles otherwise readily available on the Internet.

III. RULES

As the owner of more than one mailing list, it is better that there are some rules within which all can participate, even though the rules might make the mailing list sound stuffy and serious. It is not.

Be respectful of other list participants. Arguments (as in debates) are fair game. Quarrels and belligerent behaviour are not. There will be no personal attacks -- direct or indirect. Also, innuendoes of personal attacks to other members of the Elantra GT List are seen to be contrary to the spirit of the Elantra GT List, and will not be allowed. The contents of this list should be relaxing and not stressful.
Stay on topic.
Try to make the text of the subject fit the body of the posting, and if the thread changes mid-course, please feel free to change the Subject header. This helps those of us who don't have as much time as others reading List mails.
Set your target for quoted material to around 50%. Remove all excess baggage (irrelevant quoted material, footers, quoted signatures, etc.) from your replies. Leave only lines directly pertinent to your reply.
Post only material that applies or could apply to two or more list participants. Any material which applies only one other list participant should be moved off the list to private email.
Messages of a commercial nature are off topic. These include advertisements, solicitation, invitations to websites which provide "opportunities" for monetary gain, and so forth. If you have something you would like to post to the List and it seems to fall into this category, please email me privately before posting the message to the List.
File attachments such as photographs are not allowed in posts to the mailing list. This is because your attachments will be sent to all list subscribers, and not all would necessarily want your attachments.
Expletives are not allowed.

IV. SUBSCRIBING, UNSUBSCRIBING, AND POSTING TO THE MAILING LIST

Subscribing

Subscribe to the Elantra GT List by filling out the following form. You will be sent email requesting confirmation, to prevent others from gratuitously subscribing you. This is a private list, which means that the list of members is not available to non-members.

Your email address:
Your name (preferred but optional):
You may enter a privacy password below. This provides only mild security, but should prevent others from messing with your subscription. Do not use a valuable password as it will occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext. If you choose not to enter a password, one will be automatically generated for you, and it will be sent to you once you've confirmed your subscription. You can always request a mail-back of your password when you edit your personal options. Once a month, your password will be emailed to you as a reminder. You will still be able to post and receive List emails without a password.
Pick a password:
Reenter password to confirm:
Would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?	No Yes

You will receive a confirmation message from the List server. Reply to this message without changing anything, especially the subject. If all is well after that, you will receive a welcome message indicating that you are a member. You can then post to the List. Until you reply to this confirmation message you are not subscribed, and will not get List mail.

Unsubscribing or Editing your Membership Options

To unsubscribe from the Elantra GT List, get a password reminder, or change your subscription options enter your subscription email address and click the button. If you leave the field blank, you will be prompted for your email address.

You should get confirmation of either action within the hour. If you have a problem with either process, please email me.

Posting to the List

To post to the mailing list, just send an email to elantra_gt@gwebworks.com. You should not be able to post to the list without first being subscribed. When you send a message to the List, all List members are emailed, as it is a public forum.

As mentioned in Section III.7, file attachments to the Elantra GT Mailing List are not allowed. However, if you have some photos which are pertinent to the discussions on the List, then please feel free to send them to me privately, and I will consider posting them (with full credit to you) on the web site, as space allows. That way, no one is forced to get anything they don't necessarily want.

Once you have that password, log in and change the password to something more meaningful.

VI. FINAL COMMENTS

I sincerely hope that a great time can be had by all in this mailing list. A lot of useful information and knowledge are gained, and often strong friendships are forged through chatting on lists such as this. I certainly hope that this will happen here.
