Mary,
Actually the moderator wanted you to set it on "Special Notices". There are hardly any "important email notices from the moderator", maybe one every two or three months. So we ask all members to be on Special Notices if they don't want to get emails but want to stay in the group. If you do get a few of those emails, it's easy enough to delete, since they are usually pretty rare.

Hope that makes sense.

: I am moving from Step 1 to Step 2. I will be joining the Journaling
: online group. The moderator of Step 1 said I could change my
: setting to "Special notices". That way I could still
: access the group emails but not have so many messages in my
: inbox. When I clicked on "Join" for this Step 1 group
: and saw the choices for settings I was not sure what to chose.
: "Special Notices" said "receive only important
: email notices from group moderator. The next choice, "Web
: Only" said "Don't get notified of the latest
: happenings. Read messages on the web." This last one sounds
: like what the moderator had in mind. Which one should I chose?
: If it is the latter, how do I access the group on the web?
: Thanks for your help.
