ECAP Projects ECEMEN-L Discussion List

ECEMEN-L is an open, unmoderated Listserv dicussion list intended for any man or woman who would like to discuss the issue of men working in the field of early childhood education. Topics of discussion include organizing a men's caucus; activities, presentations, etc. at local and national conferences; examining barriers to men entering the field; recruiting ideas; dealing with sexual abuse accusations; retaining the male staff members in your programs; and experiences of men in early education in other countries.

The list is co-owned by Bruce Sheppard, representing the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s (NAEYC) Men’s Caucus, and by the Early Childhood and Parenting (ECAP) Collaborative at the University of Illinois. View the results of a survey of ECEMEN-L (then NAEYCMEN-L) list members that was conducted in March 2002.

Setting Message Acknowledgements and Reproductions

The Acknowledgement setting tells the Listserv computer whether or not to send you an acknowledgement whenever you send a message to the list. The setting options are ACK and NOACK. For instance, if you send a message with subject line "General Information", you can automatically get a message back from the Listserv computer that is something like:

Your message dated XXX with subject "General Information" was successfully distributed to the XXX list.

The Reproduction setting tells the Listserv computer whether or not you want to see your own message posted to the list. The setting options are REPRO and NOREPRO.

To change your acknowledgement and reproduction settings for ECEMEN-L, send an e-mail message to:

listserv@listserv.illinois.edu

Do NOT send acknowledgement or reproduction setting changes to ECEMEN-L

To receive an automatic acknowledgement from the Listserv computer whenever you post a message to the list, send the command:

set ECEMEN-L ack

If you do not want to receive an acknowledgement, send the message:

set ECEMEN-L noack

If you want to see your own message posted to the list, send the message:

set ECEMEN-L repro

If you do not want to see your own message posted to the list, send the message:

set ECEMEN-L norepro

It is a good idea to set one of these options "on" (i.e., ACK or REPRO) so that you can know that your own posting has been received by the list. There are default settings for these options for each Listserv list. Each list may have different default settings.
