Why should I join the email discussion group?

Millions of people from all walks of life, business and industry groups, and even government agencies have found that email discussions through the Internet are one of the best ways to collaborate and discuss ideas across the globe. These online discussions allow you to easily send an identical mail message - a request for help or information, a job posting, or an announcement, for example -- to all the members of a list simply by sending one message to a single address called a listserver address. Listservers have been used on the Internet for years by computer-savvy types to share ideas, discuss issues and announce events.

Now we have an email discussion group exclusively for those of us who live in Pine Brook to use the power of these email discussions to communicate about common interests. Such interests could be the offering of buying or selling equipment, vehicles, etc.; the offering of services, such as babysitting, yard care, etc., the interest of neighbors in purchasing services or products elsewhere and using a collective buying power to reduce their costs (e.g. driveway repair, fence replacement); or simply to discuss ways to further improve common facilities (parks and roads), and to share ideas.

Who may join the list?

All current residents of Pine Brook are invited to join.

Are there any requirements or restrictions on content?

Discussions within this email group should be devoted only to issues related in some way to Pine Brook and the residents that live here.

We do ask that no graphics or documents be sent through the list, as these files tend to be quite large and will slow down an otherwise expedient process of exchanging valuable information through the Internet.

Use of vulgar language in messages sent to the list may result in expulsion from the list.

In general, negative comments about another resident or property in the neighborhood doesn't belong on this list. There are always two sides to a specific dispute, and if this forum gets into providing a venue for disputes as a practice, everyone will drop off the list.
