What is the mission of the WAHM.com mailing list?
The mission of WAHM.com and the WAHM.com mailing lists is to promote the businesses and encourage those women who have chosen to work from home while caring for their children.
What topics are discussed on the list?
There are several lists with different topics, but overall the subject of the WAHM.com mailing lists is "Work at Home Moms" so topics dealing with home business and working from home while caring for ones children are acceptable. Were here to help you promote your business, but blatant ads(beyond what is described here) should not be posted. However, when you join the list, feel free to introduce yourself and tell other list members about your business. You may offer specials and discounts to the list members, and an occasional (once each month) announcement regarding your business is fine too.
Who can join the list?
The WAHM.com mailing list is open to those who wish to participate in conversations with other work at home moms. Our emphasis is moms, because we believe moms face unique challenges trying to combine motherhood and home business, but all are welcome.

How do I unsubscribe?

Are the lists moderated?
No, the main list used to be moderated, but not anymore.
Can I forward posts to others, or send other's messages to the list?
Remember, no e-mail is private. However, you should always ask permission of the original poster before forwarding any list mail, and similarly, don't forward private e-mails unless you have the writer's permission. On the other hand, don't send anything to the list that you consider private information.
How do I respond to a post?
You can respond to the writer of the e-mail by just hitting reply. If you believe your response will be of interest to the majority of list members, send your response to wahm@wahm.com.
How do I send a message to the entire list?
Once youve subscribed, you can send messages to the entire list by addressing your mail to the list address:
For example, on the main WAHM.com mailing list, the address is: wahm@wahm.com
Are there things I shouldn't send to the list?
Yes, lots of things. Ads, (except for your once-a-month allotment) Don't send chain letters, virus warnings, Neiman-Marcus cookie recipes, poems, stories, jokes, etc from other lists, messages typed in ALL CAPS (it's considered screaming), posts not related to being a work at home mom, hmmm, I'm sure there are more, but you get the idea.
Also, don't send messages that are meant for one or two people to the entire list.
