Q: How do I subscribe to Brin-L?
A: Try the "SUBSCRIBE" button in the menu. Alternatively, you
can subscribe by sending a blank e-mail to brin-l-subscribe@topica.com
PLEASE NOTE: Due to some problems on Topica's side, it is currently not possible to subscribe
through the Subscribe Page of this website it would take you to the Topica website and let you create
an account, but after that Brin-L is nowhere to be found. Subscribing by e-mail works fine,
though.
Q: How do I change my subscription
settings?
A: Log in at the Topica
Exchange Login Page. Depending on your settings, you will either be taken to the Topica Homepage or to
your My Topica Page. If you get the Topica Homepage, click on "my topica" in the bar at the top of
the page to go to your My Topica Page. Once there, click on "Brin-L" under "Lists You've
Joined" to go to the Subscription Options Page.
Note: This will only work if you have registered with Topica. If you haven't, you will have to
ask the listowner to change the settings for you.
Q: Is this a moderated list?
A: Yes and no. The List in general is not moderated; messages you send
to the list will be sent to all subscribers immediately. Only new subscribers have their first few posts
moderated, to protect Brin-L against spammers. The fact that Brin-L is otherwise not moderated doesn't mean
that spamming, flame wars, personal attacks and other questionable behaviour will be tolerated, though. See
the Etiquette Guidelines for more information.

(multiple messages combined into one big e-mail)?
A: Yes. At your Subscription Options Page you can select how you wish to
