Pham" Subject: ADMIN: Smoe.org begging for money Hey everyone again, this is something that is totally needed to be posted. I believe that it has to be read and it's extremely important. Please take a gentle second and read it please. - --- Most of you may know me, some don't I'm sure. My name is Mike Connell and I manage/own the Jewel and Patty Griffin mailing lists here at smoe.org. My purpose for writing you today is to ask for your assistance in a project/fund raiser to help keep smoe.org up and running for many more years to come. A gentle bloke by the name of Jeff Wasilko owns smoe.org, and while he does have a merry band of smoe-elves to help him in various tasks in operating the system, Jeff has always paid the monthly operating costs (NOT a small penny) and of course had paid for the expensive equipment it presently runs on. He has always offered this service for free since day one....no user fees....no list owner fees...totally free :-) Many of your favorite artists and their fans have benefited from this service, as smoe.org hosts lists for such artists as Happy Rhodes, Paula Cole, Jewel, Patty Griffin, Tori Amos, Thomas Dolby, Poe, Susan Werner, Leah Andreone, Luscious Jackson, Ben Folds Five, Maria Callas, the Indigo Girls, Shawn Colvin, Fiona Apple and many, many more. Some of these once unknown artists, and more to come I'm sure, had their internet presence begin right here at smoe.org :-) For a complete list of which artists have mailing lists hosted at smoe.org, you can go to http://www.smoe.org/lists At the present moment Jeff is looking into replacing the hardware smoe.org operates on with more modern equipment, as the present workhorses are a pair of seven year old SUN Sparc stations. Being seven years old is pretty much dinosaur age in computer terminology (smoeasauruses?), and these systems are acting older than their age. This replacement is necessary to get newer and better equipment in place before the present smoe.org falls down and goes boom permanently, leaving the lists at smoe.org temporarily without a home :-) As you might imagine, this replacement is going to cost a pretty penny. On other list servers this would be no problem, as money would be used from the user fees. However since such fees don't exist here at smoe.org, we are asking for your help in the form of donations. We are not asking for big bucks here, just whatever you can give, whether it be $1, $2, $5, $10....whatever. You can send a check, a money order, or if a buck or two or three you can send cash (that is your choice) If you can't afford anything, don't sweat it, this is NOT mandatory. We are just asking for you to help out if you can. Money orders are a piece of cake. (At least in the USA) They don't have a large fee at all, generally less than a buck, sometimes as low as 35 cents....although money orders from banks usually carry a larger fee (go figure ;-) Your best bet for a money order (in the USA) would be from the US Post Office....all money orders there have an 85 cent fee no matter what the dollar amount of the money order is. *** All checks or money orders should be made out to Jeff Wasilko :-) FOREIGN (Non-USA) LIST MEMBERS: I'm not sure at all what is the best method for you folks. We are open for suggestions. I know that the USA Post Offices cash Canadian Postal money orders, so no problem there, Jeff can cash them there. Of course, any foreign cash sent in can easily be exchanged at a bank. From what he told me, his bank has a 15$ surcharge on any overseas money order cashed, so this option is out. If you have any ideas, please write me and I'll discuss the best ones with Jeff and mention them in a follow up post to all the lists next week. ********************** HOW TO DONATE: ********************** Simple :-) Just send what you want (no Monopoly money please) to me at Mike Connell PO Box 1206 Binghamton NY 13902-1206 and I'll tally up all the figures etc and send it all on to Jeff :-) Remember, please make out all checks or money orders to Jeff Wasilko In your envelope, please include a note that contains your full name, the list(s) you belong to, and your email address you use here at smoe.org Please help in this mission to give smoe.org a new home :-) If you have any questions, please feel free to write me and ask. I thank you all in advance :-) Mike "Once a bell ringer, always a bell ringer" Connell :-) - --- There you go. I hope that we can give the Apple Tree a good name by donating some money. When you send in your money, just write a little letter saying that you're a branch of the Apple Tree and we are happy that smoe has given us a home. Tuan ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Apr 1998 20:06:03 -0400 From: "Tuan N. Pham" Subject: NFC (but required by smoe): New List Hey everyone, I'm required to pass on this to you. I just received it this morning. Tuan - --- Hi everyone. My name is Jason Greshes and I run the Paula Cole (harbinger) list here on smoe.org. After talking with the Jeff and us agreeing that there's been a lot of duplication of posts and info concerning Lilith Fair on many different lists, we've decided to create one list where people can discuss Lilith Fair, ask questions concerning venues, prices, vendors, hooking up at Lilith Fair, asking for directions to various fairs, posting updates concerning dates and artists performing, discussing products available at Lilith Fair, etc. etc. Basically, your one-stop Lilith Fair info and discussion shop. If you run a list where subscribers are interested in Lilith Fair, I'd appreciate it if you could forward this info to your list. Lately there have been people doing a lot of crossposting among our lists, and lilith-fair-fans is in part intended the lighten the duplicated traffic and prevent any of our lists from getting taken over by Lilith posts as the summer wears on. - --------------------- Announcing lilith-fair-fans, a email list devoted to Lilith Fair '98. The purpose of the list is to serve as central place for Lilith Fair questions and discussion. Topics include venue information, ticket sale days and prices, meeting at Lilith Fair, vendors, artist confirmations, etc. etc. Your one-stop Lilith-Fair info and discussion center. To subscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: subscribe lilith-fair-fans =or= subscribe lilith-fair-fans-digest if you prefer the digest version. When you sub you will receive a long file giving all the dates and venue information so far. The list is for both news and discussion concerning Lilith Fair. It also is a fan-run list and has no official relationship or endorsed relationship with Lilith Fair, Sarah or Nettwerk. Thanks, Jason Greshes, listowner ------------------------------ End of apple-tree-digest V1 #4 ******************************
