Google Groups for PS1 are sometimes referred to as "the mailing list" or just "the list" or "the email list" or "the messageboard" and could be referred to by other names as well. You can interact with the Google Groups mailing list by getting an email digest of the last 25 posts, or one email digest per day, or one alert per post (highly not recommended, you will drown in email and hate it) or just by interacting with it through a web interface. Your call. Don't ask to be removed from the list, because you can do that yourself with no assistance at all. Try not to ask to be added to the private group either, until you have tried and tried and failed to do it for yourself - because you can do that without any assistance at all: Google it or see the animated gif link below. | Google Groups for PS1 are sometimes referred to as "the mailing list" or just "the list" or "the email list" or "the messageboard" and could be referred to by other names as well.

There are two versions or types of Pumping Station: One Google Groups. One is public; anyone can join or participate subject to admin activity, and the other, private group which only members can request access to.
Google Groups for PS1 are sometimes referred to as "the mailing list" or just "the list" or "the email list" or "the messageboard" and could be referred to by other names as well. You can interact with the Google Groups mailing list by getting an email digest of the last 25 posts, or one email digest per day, or one alert per post (highly not recommended, you will drown in email and hate it) or just by interacting with it through a web interface. Your call. Don't ask to be removed from the list, because you can do that yourself with no assistance at all. Try not to ask to be added to the private group either, until you have tried and tried and failed to do it for yourself - because you can do that without any assistance at all: Google it or see the animated gif link below.
When you ask to join the private Google Group, please TELL US YOUR NAME. We can't always figure out who you are from your email address if it doesn't match your paypal or other email you use with PS1, and even if it does, it's good to know your name to verify your membership.
