Mickey,
If you get emails from the GMCnet (gmclist@temp.gmcnet.org) to start a new message you:
1) Open / Create / Start a new message in whatever email program you use.
2) Make sure it is a PLAIN TEXT message, NOT HTML / NOT RICH TEXT!
3) Put gmclist@temp.gmcnet.org in the To: field
4) Put whatever the subject is in the Subject: field
5) Type up your message in the body
6) Hit send
If you use the GMC Forum (http://gmc.mybirdfeeder.net/GMCforum)
1) Click on Login in the upper right hand corner
2) A window will open asking you to for your Login and Password
3) Fill in those fields and click on Login in the lower right hand corner
4) Click on GMCnet once you are logged in
5) Click on New Topic in the upper right hand corner
6) A new window will open which is titled Post Form in the upper left hand corner
7) The curser will be in a field titled "Title"
8) Fill in what your Subject is
9) Under that is a field called: Topic Description - if you like you can add additional details, however, it's not necessary
10) Place the curser in the Body and type your message
11) When you're done click on Preview Message if you want to check and see what you wrote is what you'll send.
12) When you're done click on Create Topic to send
If you're logged in across the top of the page in Home you'll see this line:
Private Messaging Members Search Help Control Panel Logout [Your Login] Home
Click on Control Panel as there's lots of options to set.
You'll also see - GMC Swapmeet and GMC Sandbox, with a description of what they're for.
Regards,
Rob M.
PS - Hopefully I've got this all right!

Good post.
Back when I still used email to access the "net", I noticed that most email programs will auto-fill the "To:" field after just a few letters. This made it take fewer key-strokes to start a new thread than it does to reply to an "old' one... the key strokes for deleting the old subject and message do add up.
On an another, but related note, when replying it is normally a good idea to quote A LITTLE of the message, if nothing else to let your readers know what you are replying to. (Trim out the excess text.) You could also put enough in your message for it to tie together the subject. Due to the many different ways that people can receive "the net", expect that the reader to receive your message without anything before it. I have seen questions, that I couldn't figure out what the subject was... It is a little hard to answer those.
But bottom line... do not let anyone bitching about HOW you post, keep you from posting. You input is valuable. (Just like some non-native English speakers who have problems communicating doesn't make them stupid.) Just think about how it looks from the other end.
