How To Join The Treadleon Email List, To Join In The Conversation
The Treadle On email list is provided by the excellent
Groups.io and is free to join.
On the list, remain reasonably polite and friendly,
and stay more or less on topic of non-motorised sewing machines and
sewing. No flaming, no trolling, no anti-social
behavior will be tolerated.
To join, either sign up with the
Treadleon at Groups.io web page
or send an email message to the
group subscription request
address. Your subscription will wait to be approved by the moderators,
and you may also have to confirm your email access to Groups.io as a whole,
unless you have used it for another group.
Your first few messages as a new member are moderated.
There is a searchable archive of past messages back to 2014, and a selection
of ways in which you can be sent new messages, from each message
appearing immediately in your inbox, through batches of 12 messages
to reduce clutter, to no emails at all (so you read messages only
through the archive).
Email list rules
TreadleOn is for users and makers and fixer-uppers, not so much
for collectors. Try to stay on topic.
Please let your friends know about our group, and how/where to sign up.
We'd love to have them, too!
Search the List and the website before you ask a question, please.
Add to a conversation only if you have good advice. No "me-toos" please.
You can't post any images to the List; it's set up that way. Make an
image somewhere else and post a link.
Trim the previous content from your email replies! Lots of people read
as Digest and this gets tiresome real fast.
If you dislike/are tired of a subject, either delete it, or ignore it
& scroll on past. The list doesn't want to know you are bored. If you
need to complain, do so to Helen
or Mea directly.
This mailing list is not a selling forum.
Do not mention open auctions, or items available on online trading
sites, or announce that you are going to put something up for
auction, etc. Anyone abusing the list for multiple sales will be
Moderated or have the messages deleted.
You can post items once to the list
on Saturday, with a firm price (or free); Location;
whether you will ship; and condition. Make links to images off-list.
When sold, please take the post down or edit it.
If a machine or item is of general interest, you may post it
after the auction/sale has ended.
Severe or persistent rule breakers will be banned, at the discretion of the Moderators.
