The SSQ a mailing list operation using the services of OneList.
The lists are set up with specific areas of interest to allow for discussions, questions, and information dissementation within the subscribers of the list. One of the things that's frowned on is listening in without adding your own occasional contributions or questions to the discussion. And after you join, please send an introduction of yourself and what you're working on so others know who they're talking to. Don't be afraid to jump in!
Unsolicited advertisements and product announcements are not welcome on the mailing lists. The groups are currently self-policing, but there are steps that can be taken to enforce the policies as the groups grow.
