It is free, private, developed by residents and is for residents only. That means that only Rogue Valley Manor residents, and some senior RVM Administration members, are permitted to subscribe to and use this communication vehicle. Those outside our community are not able to post or read messages. Residents Council is enthusiastic about the creation of this resident email group. Of course it should not be used for mention or discussion of private administration, advisory council or residents council business matters. Please abide by this rule. Other “netiquette rules” are that there be no commercial advertising and no discussion of politics or religion, and only polite, civil communications will be allowed. Remember, anything you send to the resident email group will be seen by all of its members. The email group, also known as the RVMlist Mail Group, was created by residents Skip Ross and Nils Nilsson, with much help and encouragement from their wives, Janet Ross and Grace Abbott. It is currently managed by Skip Ross. Kevin McLoughlin has approved the creation of this email group. (His only request is that the list not be used for discussion of Residents’ Council or Advisory Committees business. Please abide by this request). Earl Norgard is also in favor. The “netiquette rules” are that there be no advertising, no discussion of politics or religion, and only polite, civil communications.
