Join Our E-Mail List
Share tips, parts, and stories with the other '02 nuts in our own neck of the woods!

By providing a forum for folks specifically in our geographical area this list supports an active community of '02 enthusiasts in the lower mainland.

How to join:
To subscribe, send an e-mail to 02bc@zeebuck.com with the word "subscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line. Or, just click here.

You will receive a confirmation message in order to validate the e-mail address. Follow the instructions in the message. Once subscribed, you may post messages to the list by simply sending mail to 02bc@zeebuck.com. Messages are sent out to list members usually within 10 minutes of being received by the list server - assuming the server is up. Don't worry if your message does not show up right away, especially overnight. It will be posted when the server is next started.

Digest Mode:
Getting too many messages in your in-box? Switch your subscription to digest mode by clicking here. Individual postings to the e-mail list will be combined into a single message and sent to you roughly once each day. You may still participate in discussions as usual - be sure to change the subject and edit down the quoted digest in your replies! To switch back to individual message mode, click here.

Catching Up:
Want to catch up on past discussions? Send a message to 02bc@zeebuck.com with the subject line RESEND-XX where XX is number of days back you wish to see. Or click the link to have the last 2 days or 7 days worth of postings sent to you.

Announcements-Only Mailing List:
Too busy to read through all the discussions on our main e-mail list, but still want to be informed of local '02 events? Subscribe to the very low-traffic BC '02 Owners Group Announce list where only "official" news of upcoming events and other important info will be sent out. This list is read-only - you cannot post to it. To subscribe, send an e-mail to 02bcannounce@zeebuck.com with the word "subscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line. Or, just click here.

How to unsubscribe:
To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to 02bc@zeebuck.com or 02bcannounce@zeebuck.com with only the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line. Or, click to unsubscribe from 02bc here or 02bcannounce here. We'll miss you.

Problems?
Please describe what's wrong and what you would like done about it in an e-mail to: 02bcmod@zeebuck.com

Reasons for an e-mail based discussion group:
Since we are limited to local '02 owners, there is not a large volume of messages. Having a web-based discussion board when there is little traffic would be kind of boring since it would not be much fun to surf over to a website to check for new messages if there weren't many new messages! With an e-mail list, you can join and forget about it. When somebody posts to the list, you will find the message in your e-mail inbox whenever you would normally check your mail. If you have something to say in response to a message, just click on reply, write your message, edit the quoted text, and send your response to the list. Questions and desperate pleas for help are likely to get answered much faster with e-mail than using a web based system, making the list much more useful.

Mailing List Etiquette:
This is a casual list. Generally, the only appropriate subject matter for this group is stuff to do with our cars. However, some off-topic discussion is allowable so long as it remains in the spirit of our main focus. There are no hard and fast rules, but essentially, the code of conduct is not to annoy the other list members and especially not the list administrator. ;-) To that end, please be sure to send your messages in plain text format, and do not send attachments. Make sure you edit your replies to include only the salient quoted text, and change the subject as appropriate. To prevent mailbox overloads, there is a 100-line limit to messages posted to the list - larger ones will be delayed, truncated, or deleted entirely. If you want to share pictures or files, put them somewhere on the web and include the URL in your post to the mailing list.

Anti-Spam Policy:
Your e-mail address will not be sold or otherwise used by us for the purpose of spam (unsolicited commercial e-mail). Your e-mail address will only be visible to other members of this list, and then only if you post a message. Should any members of this list harvest e-mail addresses for the purpose of spam, they will be hunted down and beaten with a cracked Guibo. Since this is a small list, the risk of spammers being present is very low, anyway.

Anti Virus Measures:
Risk of transmission is extremely low. All messages to the list are scanned by an up-to-date AV program before being distributed. That said, should an attachment still get by, don't run it!
