Thanks everyone.
I *think* I have my phone set to send plain text emails, or at least my old phone was, so I guess I'll see if this goes through.
... and if I'm remembering correctly which email address I signed up under.
As for naming, I'm often "New Joe" in groups, but then sometimes the Joe already in the group objects to being called "Old Joe", so they call him "Original Joe" or in one case "Big Joe"
...
And I am interested in ARES, but I'm currently only a technician, and have two other conflicts: I host a board game night every other Thursday, which is going to conflict for your next two meetings, and if there's a large enough disaster, I'll probably be in Upper Marlboro, as I'm an officer of their CERT team and on the town council. ... and there's that issue that I'm in PG, so Jim Montgomery will likely try to get his hooks into me.
Thanks again, everyone, for the warm welcome.

ps. I had mentioned to Brian that I used to manage mailing lists in the past. Mailman isn't one that I've used, and there seem to be a lot of gaps in the documentation (like for topics, which usually allows to add something like "[job]" to the subject line, and others can then it to not send them those)
Welcome Joe! You've selected a great group to align with. Lots of experience and knowledge. Not sure of your interest in emergency radio communications but, the Auxcomm(Auxiliary Communications)group meets on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 7pm.
...
Joe,
Welcome!
Is it too soon to nickname him “Joe Acquisitions”?
Cheers,
