How a support list works:
You will receive messages sent into the list by other subscribers and you will be able to post messages or enter replies to messages, which will be sent to all subscribers including yourself. We respect your privacy and your identity and all emails will show the Elist email address and not your personal one. Should you decide this program is not for you then you may un-subscribe to Beyond the Burn, by following the directions at the bottom of each email.
