I moderate the rural listserv for the American University. We have a pretty active listserv and many loyal followers. When things get a little slow, I will ask a question or make a statement to get responses going on the listserv. I also will respond when someone else brings up an issue but usually to clarify or site references. I have only not allowed a comment once that I can remember due to rudeness. There are so many issues and new research in our field that we don’t find it a problem to keep the discussion going….<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Tribal-drug-courts [<a href="mailto:tribal-drug-courts-bounces@tribal-institute.org">mailto:tribal-drug-courts-bounces@tribal-institute.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Marie Pappas<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, September 12, 2016 10:57 AM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:tribal-drug-courts@tribal-institute.org">tribal-drug-courts@tribal-institute.org</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Tribal-drug-courts] RURAL DRUG COURT LISTSERVE -- PLEASE JOIN IF INTERESTED<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Lauren:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My name is Marie Pappas, I work for the State Court Administrative Office in Michigan.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am writing to ask about the success of your listserv with the rural courts.
