Here's some general information on The Spirit Of Talk Talk Mailing List

ABOUT THIS PAGE

This is the introductory page for the Sprit Of Talk Talk mailing list. Please read this page carefully before joining and/or posting to the list; it contains information about list etiquette and instructions on using the mailing list software. (If you're new to mailing lists, you may wish to keep a copy of this message around or bookmark this page for future reference.) This page also contains a biography for Talk Talk, as well as links to other Talk Talk sites.

WHAT THIS LIST IS ABOUT

The Spirit Of Talk Talk Mailing List discusses the work of Talk Talk and related groups or solo work or projects - such as releases by Mark Hollis, Tim Friese-Greene, Orang, etc.

HOW TO SUBSCRIBE AND UNSUBSCRIBE

Return to the main page of Spirit Of Talk Talk, enter your e-mail address in the subscribe box, and check your e-mail account for further instructions. The procedure is easy to follow, and involves you registering with Egroups and subscribing to the list by simply replying to a confirmation e-mail. Full details on how to unsubscribe are also available at Egroups, and will be mailed to you in a welcome message when you have confirmed your subscription. Once you are subscribed, you will recieve each message as it is posted to the list. If you wish, it is possible to have the messages sent to you in a digest format. This involves all the messages from one day being sent to you in one e-mail, rather than several separate e-mails, at the end of each day. This facility means you can prevent your mail account from being flooded with messages during periods when the amount of material sent to the list is high. The only disadvantage of this option is that you won't get the messages quite as fast as some of the other subscribers. For further queries about converting your subscription to the digest format then please contact the list administrators.

USING THE LIST

All postings to the list should go to spiritoftalktalk@onelist.com. Messages sent to this address will immediately be forwarded to all members of the list. It is evry important that you send messages from the account you used to subscribe to the list, otherwise your mail will not be posted on to the list - this feature is needed to prevent spam mail and missuse of the list.

New members are encouraged to introduce themselves. When you join, please send a message to the list, and tell everyone how you discovered Talk Talk, which album is your favourite, and just why their music is so special for you.

The messages you send to the list will be going to almost 50 other people. For their convenience you should try to follow the usual rules of list courtesy:

Avoid long signatures (four lines is a good size).
Trim down quotations from postings you are responding to.
Try to stay on-topic whenever possible. The list manager has final say on whether a topic is welcome on the list; please do your best to follow his guidance.
Do not repost messages from this list to other forums without first getting permission from the person who wrote that message.
If you send mail to the list using Netscape, Microsoft Mail, or other similar products, make sure your software is configured not to include attachments in your messages. HTML content, rich text, and other similar inclusions should not be posted.

If someone else is misbehaving on the list, please EMAIL THE LIST OWNERS
[spiritoftalktalk-owner@onelist.com]
Do NOT try to deal with the situation yourself; this almost always results in more problems than it solves.

The following kinds of messages are *never* welcome on the list, and posting them might result in your being removed, so be careful!

Flames and/or attacks on other list members
Advertisements for things not directly related to the list's topic
Chain letters
Virus warnings and other "public service announcements"
Hoaxes and forged email
Private email that you don't have the original sender's permission to repost to the list

The list is not meant to be used as an advertising forum, though short notices of the form "I have for sale; please email me for a full list" are acceptable as long as the items for sale are directly relevant to the topic of the mailing list.

This contents of this mailing list may not be archived or redistributed in any way without the express permission of the list owner, unless you are a subscriber archiving the contents of the list for your own personal use only.

This list is managed by Steven Johnson and Molly Fanon.

Thanks for reading this far. We hope you'll enjoy the list!
