The ISAB Listserve
What is a listserve? A listserve is like a chat room, but done with e-mail. People communicate by posting messages to the listserve. Every message posted to the list is then sent to everyone else on the list. The recipients may choose to respond (continuing the thread), or lurk (not posting at all) or starting a new thread. What is the purpose of the Iowa Stocks & Bonds ListServe? The purpose of the Iowa List is to further and enhance the growth of the Iowa Stocks & Bonds group , the first statewide (we believe!) BDSM organization in Iowa. It is a public forum where we can sort out and discuss the issues facing BDSMers today in an open, supportive atmosphere. It also serves as a means for members to establish personal contact and get to know each other, to lose that sense of being the only kinky person in the state. We have established, and hope to maintain, a sense of community for BDSMers in Iowa and surrounding states. Who can join the Iowa Stocks & Bonds ListServe? Anyone 21 or over can join the list. Because of the age restrictions, the procedure for subscribing to the listserve is rather long and complicated. The instructions for the procedure are listed below. Most of our members are from Iowa or the surrounding states. The Iowa Stocks & Bonds group does have one or more meetings each month, so being close is helpful. What are the discussion topics on the ListServe? The topics available for discussion is entirely up to the list membership. Anyone can propose a new topic, and anyone can talk about anything. We have very few rules, and sometimes the discussions become quite explicit. What are the rules of the Iowa Stocks & Bonds ListServe? We have few
rules. But violation of any of the following rules
