IJMC - Administrivia

   Welcome all to the newest change in the International Junk Mail 
Clearinghouse! We are now running on a Majordomo listserv to help both 
you and me. This helps you in being able to subscribe/unsubscribe almost 
effortlessly and it helps me in letting you subscribe/unsubscribe almost 
effortlessly. Notice a trend here? Now if we can get that damned Web form 
to send something that Majordomo will parse, I'll be quite pleased. But 
that's another headache and another day. 
   For those of you who are a bit confused by this change, don't be. 
Nothing has really changed. If you want to talk to me, you send me mail. 
If you want to submit something, you send me mail. The change is if you 
want to subscribe or unsubscribe yourself or a friend, you send Majordomo 
(listserv@netcom.com) mail as described in the info page or the sig. To 
those of you (as is noticed below, in the night's post) who thought this 
meant that everyone could talk with everyone, I'm sorry, it's still 
moderated, one-way-only. I was just tired of having to manually subscribe 
everyone who wanted on the list...with over 150 new people in three 
months, it's begun to show me how much time it could take up. If you have 
any questions, just reply back to me, and I'll be glad to take care of 
them. Any questions about why the sky is blue will be sent to 
chicken@little.com, understood?
   All that burble said, on with the night's post, from an email pal who 
wanted to have the first post on the listserv setup...it's not what she 
expected, but I'm granting her wish. Twonky!

P.S. France, Majordomo's the pit bull...
after seeing how it ripped through your
attempt at posting, I think I chose correctly.
