Wow. Spot-on answers from everyone. Thank you! For the "official, admin-generated response": No. This is not your responsibility.
Each group member has the ability to control their viewing/receiving methods. Just to take an inference from your post and make broader example, if another group member contacted you directly with a complaint about this, that's unfortunate. Since this group evolved from an email-only genre, it's understandable that there might still be some confusion, especially if you aren't regularly interacting with the group. This group structure is a hybrid of both email and web types - you can choose to interact with the group solely via email (and the experience differs slightly whether you use web-based email or a pop3 client, as well as whether you receive the emails in individual or digest form), or you choose to interact with the group via a web interface. When we shifted to a google group, at least half of the newer users sign up with "no email". It's probably more, but I've yet to really analyze that. A quick scan of random chunks of members reveals a majority still receive an email for each post. All this is changeable under your "Settings" when you are logged into google groups. Anyway, hope that answers it! - Jim / list admin / about.me/cyclofiend On Saturday, April 27, 2013 6:22:09 AM UTC-7, Michael wrote: > > Apparently a newly started thread of mine got emailed to someone after > getting posted on the site. > I did not intend to send an email to anyone or to have my thread emailed > to anyone. > How does this work? > > Is there something in my settings I need to turn off so my newly started > threads only appear on the forum, and don't get emailed directly to people? > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
