Q. What's the club/group about?
A. From the official introduction:
"This club is all about Tracey Ullman. We will discuss her movies, tv shows,
music and anything else about her."
Q. Who's Tracey Ullman?
A. She is a multi-talented social satirist/actress/comedienne/singer/dancer
from England who has won many awards (Emmys, Golden Globes, American
Comedy Awards, etc.) for her TV series in the US ("The Tracey Ullman
Show", "Tracey Takes On") and the UK ("Three Of A Kind"). She is also
one of the owners of Purple Skirt, an online fashion boutique.

Q. Who are the group moderators?
A. Laurie LaBadie (beatnick67), Group Owner and Founder
Roger Reini (rwreini)
Q. What do they do?
A. The moderators set the overall policies of the group, edit membership
parameters, delete messages and/or members that are deemed disruptive, etc.
Q. How do I participate in the group?
A. You can participate by posting messages to the group, submitting
photos and by
participating in the chat sessions.
Q. How do I post messages?
A. You can post messages two ways: by sending an e-mail to
totallytraceyullmanclub@yahoogroups.com, or by going to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/totallytraceyullmanclub/post
Please keep your posts relevant to Tracey and her career. Some
off-topic posting is allowable, within reason, at the discretion of
the moderators. The moderators reserve the right to remove posts
deemed offensive or too far off-topic, and they also reserve the
right to remove members who post such messages. Anyone who posts
a message advertising something that's not Tracey-related will be
banned from the group.
Note that new members' first posts will be moderated. This will
allow the moderators to verify that the new member's purpose for
joining was not to spam the group. If the new post is deemed to
be unacceptable by either moderator, it will not be approved, and
the new member is subject to removal.
Q. What can you tell me about the chat sessions?
A. We normally chat every Saturday night at 9:30 PM Eastern time (8:30 PM
Central, 7:30 PM Mountain, 6:30 PM Pacific, 2:30 AM UK time, 3:30 AM
Central European Time). You can access the chats at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/totallytraceyullmanclub/chat
Chats take place weekly unless otherwise announced. In case of technical
difficulties with the chat room, we have been known to chat inside
Yahoo! Messenger. If you visit the chat room during chat times and
nobody is there, then try YM'ing either of the moderators.
Q. Why can't I use the "No Email" option for receiving group messages?
A. We moderators have determined that, in order to improve and maintain good
participation rates from the membership, it is necessary for members to be
able to receive Special Notices at a minimum. Anyone who signs up for the
group yet chooses the "No Email" option will have their delivery settings
changed to "Special Notices". If this is objectionable to you, we're sorry,
but your only recourse is to leave the group.
Q. I was removed from the group -- why?
A. In most cases, you were removed because your e-mail address
was no longer valid -- i.e., group mail being sent to it
was bouncing. If you want, you can join up again, preferably
using an e-mail address that doesn't bounce.
In a few cases, the moderators have removed and banned members
who have violated the rules of the group.
