Welcome to curiouser!

   Please take the time to read through all of this information, and save it somewhere in case you need to refer to it again in the future.  Most of the information in this welcome file is also available at www.io.com/~mcurry/curiouser.html .

   If you have any questions or comments about curiouser please direct 
them to owner-curiouser@smoe.org .

General Information:

   Curiouser is an email discussion list devoted to Susan McKeown, the talented singer and songwriter, and was created to provide her rapidly growing fan base with a place to discuss her work.  If you've subscribed 
to curiouser you're probably already familiar with Susan's work, but if 
by some chance you aren't please check out the resources listed at the 
end of this file.

Subscribing and unsubscribing:

   To subscribe to curiouser send email to majordomo@smoe.org with a body of: 

          subscribe curiouser

   To unsubscribe send email to the same address with a body of:

          unsubscribe curiouser

Curiouser digests:

   Curiouser is also available in a digest form (called curiouser-digest) which takes all of the posts for the day and sends them out as one large message (or sometimes more than one if the list volume becomes very heavy).  Please note that the posts that appear on the two forms of the list are the same.  Only the way they are delivered is different.

   Digest subscribers use the same commands to subscribe and unsubscribe (see above), but substitute curiouser-digest for curiouser.

   To switch to the digest simply send email to majordomo@smoe.org with a body of:

          subscribe curiouser-digest
          unsubscribe curiouser

   If you want to switch from the digest to the loose form of the list send email to majordomo@smoe.org with a body of:

          subscribe curiouser
          unsubscribe curiouser-digest


What to post to curiouser:

Curiouser is currently unmoderated, and I hope to keep it that way.  
Please follow these simple guidelines when posting to the list.

 Do post:

     - comments on and reviews of Susan's CDs, live shows and media 
      appearances (television, radio, magazines, etc)
     - information about Susan's upcoming CDs, live shows or media 
      appearances
     - general discussions of Susan's work
     - discussions of the work of members of the Chanting House or 
      other musicians who have performed with Susan
     - discussions of other music that might appeal to Susan McKeown 
      fans

 Do NOT post:

   - flames, flamebait or personal attacks
   - binary files of any kind (GIFs, JPGs, WAVs, etc)
   - net spam such as virus warnings, petitions, jokes, etc
   - off-topic discussions, meaning those that are not at 
    least loosely related to Susan or her work in some way
   - things intended for either majordomo or the list owner
   - things that are better sent via private email

How to post to curiouser:

   All material intended for the list should be sent to 
curiouser@smoe.org .  Items needing the attention of the list owner 
should be sent to owner-curiouser@smoe.org .  Please make sure you are using the right address.

   All posts to curiouser must be formatted as plain text rather than 
as HTML or mixed plain/HTML.  Please check the settings on your email 
program before posting.

   The list is set up so that you must post from the same address you

spam.  

   Curiouser is also set up so that if you simply hit your reply key 
your response will be sent to the author of the original message rather 
than to the list.  If you intend post your reply to the list please 
check your To: field before sending it.
