in mid-August plagued by drought."

Join the ONElist ANNOUNCE LIST for General ONElist Updates
======================================================================
Moderators please take note that beginning this week, we will be using the ANNOUNCE LIST to dispense all general ONElist updates to our users. We will no longer distribute this information to the Moderator List. We will continue to send out information pertinent only to moderators to the Moderator List. This information includes updates on new product features, planned system shut-downs, and more.
To keep current on all ONElist activities and if you're not a member already, we encourage you to join the Announce List. To join this list, go to:
http://www.onelist.com/subscribe/onelist_announce
Please note that for this week only, we will be sending the same information that appears in this newsletter to both the Announce and Moderator Lists. So if you belong to both lists, you will be receiving duplicate information.
Thank you for your patience as we make this change.
We welcome your ideas on how we can continue to improve our communications.

We are pleased to announce that TRUSTe has stamped ONElist with its seal of approval for implementing a robust set of privacy and anti-SPAM policies and practices.
"TRUSTe conducted a thorough review of ONElist's service and found that its privacy policy meets TRUSTe's high standards," said Bob Lewin, executive director at TRUSTe. "TRUSTe and ONElist will work together to ensure that ONElist's data collection and protection practices continue to meet TRUSTe's guidelines."

Looking for New Ways to Foster Lively Discussions?
Try the Group
Calendar.
======================================================================
Do you often ask yourself: "Is anybody out there?"
If you feel that your lists have too many "lurkers" and not enough discussion, try scheduling some time for discussion. With the GROUP CALENDAR feature at ONElist, you can easily schedule a planned discussion, perhaps around a certain theme or topic, to encourage members to log on and talk it up!
TO ACCESS YOUR LIST'S CALENDAR, log in to the Member Center, choose your list and click on "Calendar."
So, log on, schedule a discussion time, and enjoy livelier discussions
with your list members!
