For those of you who are relatively new to this list, let me introduce myself. My name is Dennis Harris, and I have been on this list about a year-and-a-half. I'm also one of the so-called "vets" of the list, JewelStock and most of the EDA gatherings/list projects. Like many of the "JewelStock" era list members, I don't post much anymore. But I watch the list, and spend the majority of my energies in coordinating "events", "projects" and "gatherings". My top priority on this list is meeting EDAs and introducing them to each other. Therefore, next to the wonderful friends I've already made on this list, "newbies" are the most important thing to me as they represent fresh blood! :-) (Relax, I ran the list blood drive as well...) The most EDA-like action any of us can do is to ROUTINELY recognize others and treat them as we would want to be treated in our everyday lives. I've met almost 400 of you, and have been involved in list projects practically to the point of being obsessive. But you know what? So far ya'll have been worth the effort. You want to avoid the Jewel list shutting down? Well, before writing your congressman, try these simple steps first: 1) Post no more than once a day. Post when you have something to say, and when it directly effects more than 20 EDAs at a time. (Your opinion on a random band or method of hanging toilet paper might NOT fit that category. If you see a stupid thread, don't add to it. NEVER post "I'm bored, someone email me.") 2) Take non-Jewel or non-EDA related to private side mails. As seemingly bullsh*t as my posts have been in the past (hey, who do you think necessitated NJC anyway?), they always tied in with an EDA gathering or something specific to Jewel. Even the Harris Brothers threads were designed to promote EDAs meeting in person, which is the absolute best thing anyone can do on this list. 3) Cut the SIG FILES way down, or better yet, ELIMINATE them. Jeff Wasilko (the list owner and one hell of a nice, generous guy) once posted that he was VERY proud of HIS (that's right, he has no sig file at all). * wink wink * nudge nudge * CUT THE SIGS, THEY AREN'T THAT CUTE! THEY ARE A PAIN TO WADE THRU AND BLOAT YOUR POST. Sorry to shout, but it's a pet peeve with many of us. Hey Mike and Dave (list moderators) -- trim yours too! ;-) 4) Don't quote ENTIRE EMAILS then say "I agree/disagree"... your comments should be longer than the quote, or why bother at all?If you have nothing to say, wait until you do before you post. Speaking of waiting: ALWAYS write, then sit on the post for 24 hours before hitting the SEND button. (Guaranteed to cut down the list mail volume and keep your foot out of your mouth.) 5) Read the netiquette page Mike Connell has online. Expect future silly questions that are already answered in the FAQ to be met with sarcasm. (That's loving sarcasm by the way, but sarcasm nevertheless.) The Jewel Mailing List Netiquette & New Member Guide is at: http://www.spectra.net/~ducksoup If you haven't read it, you are likely to screw up! Be a smart, responsible give-a-damn angel and give it a quick read. 6) Speaking of Mike and Jeff, DON'T post online challenging them. They maintain and own this list, respectively. Understand that fact. If you want to engage in a public pissing contest, do it in your own backyard, not theirs (or ours). We are all GUESTS on this list, and it would pay for us all to remember that. 7) If this list does fold, the very existence of EDAs and their gatherings WILL continue. They may be harder to learn about, but they will continue. :-) Many fan web sites exist, and the "Deep Water" online fanzine will be published this fall if the staff can quit camping, traveling and playing together so much! All will not be lost, but the internet sure would be a colder place without this exceptional list to warm our hearts. TO SUMMARIZE: There are two types of people on this list: the ones who will think and work to keep it afloat, and the ones who will choose to beat on it until it dies. Choose your side, angels. - -- Dennis, who would rather post irrelevant, funny sh*t than have to keep reigning in wayward EDAs with cardboard wings... (that includes vets and newbies) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jul 1997 03:54:27 -0400 From: Crunch Subject: =) Jewel on MTV News brief =) Just saw a Jewel blurb on MTV News with a short clip of her responding to a question about when a new album will be released. Her response was indescisive, but the gist was "I won't be in the studio again until February, I'll be touring until then." I guess this means that she will be doing considerable re-recording. She did mention the enormous "time-gap" between albums and said she does "hope there is no more singles" with a grimace on her face. =) Crunch! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jul 1997 01:28:19 -0700 From: Casey Hansen Subject: NJC: Offiscial List Jazz, this list, presure, all that jazz All right, I've been reading for a few days of people complaining and people apologizing and all the static and fricktion and all this bullshit that is taken this popular list to such a low point. We all need to calm down, take a step back and relieze why we joined this list and agreed to get so much mail everyday. Its because of Jewel. That's it, if someone joined to be cool or too cause trouble, they have probably come and went, but the people who are reading now, the maintainers, if you started this list or subscribed today, the true Everyday Angels, know that we all disagree a lot, and stuff, but we do all, I hope, agree on one thing, that Jewel is fabulous! I think a lot of people take this list a bit too seriously as well. I think people are offened to easily by mis-understandings and junk and then people get their feelings hurt, so here is what I sugest...Everybody unsubscribe from this list...then, an hour or a week or any other time, resubscribe and really read, the little information that happens in that "Welcome to the List" note, then you will come back all refreshed and maybe a little more expeirenced and everything. That might not be the best idea, but Ihope you all understand my posisiton, I think we all need to change our attitudes and styles of treating people, because I like this list, I like the people, I like Jewel, and don't want to lose y'all, so lets niot blame and point fingers, because everybodies to blame, and just start over! Everybody should be a newbie again...Its good for the soul!

But that backfired on him. He had put on the list a whole lot of negative things about Rachel and Chandler typed them into the computer. Well later on that day Rachel found the list and got so mad she told Ross to forget about the whole thing. Ross tried to make amends but there was no getting through to her. So he called Monica and told her to turn on the radio. SHe did and there was a dedication from Ross to Rachel. Rachel got up picked up the phone(we all thought she was going to call Ross). Next the DJ came on and said that she found out was Ross did and she wasn't going to play his song and played a dedication from a couple "who actually stands a chance". That song was With or without you. Sorry for the long message but I couldn't think of the title and this was the only way I could think to describe it.

This weekend I think Larry mentioned that Time Magazine or some magazine wanted to interview EDA's regarding the Living Room Tour. I think that is great. I for one would miss this list if it were to crumble so I plan to start updating my address book so as not to lose all the friends I have made. Newbies would definitely benefit from collecting addies if this should occur. Next, I think the list is suffering growing pains because so many new people get ignored when asking for angel food. So with my limited collection I am stepping forward and volunteering to do a little baking. I have to say I have more Rugburns than Jewel right now but I'm sure Newbies won't be to picky. So if you have read this far take me up on my offer and email me. Only about 20 of you out of 50-60 sent me tapes on the JPK fundraiser. Lastly, let's have a moratorium silence on Tuesday, add Jewel Content on Wed., Living Room Tour the next day and so on. Maybe Mike can suggest the topics. P.S. Anyone who resists neagative replys or flaming can then email me describing how you kept your hands off the keyboard and I'll pay your postage if you send the blank tapes. I doubt that there is any other list this big and this wonderful I don't care what others may say. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jul 1997 06:25:38 -0400 (EDT) From: MAXMOUZE@aol.com Subject: WTB: Time Magazine Does anyone have an extra copy of Jewel on Time Magazine that they would be willing to sell?

But my point is this, I have *never* ever ever recieved any flack for being a newbie on this list... In fact the only problem I've ever had only arose a few days ago and was settled even quicker than it began. ... I agree that this list is getting out of control and it's a shame cause I've been around to see all the good things , but I don't think it's entirely hopeless... Rachel, I think the AAN is a great idea, ESPECIALLY if you get the new people to actually sign on for it... . I will say this once and for all "ALL NEW PEOPLE MUST FIND THEMSELVES A BUDDY!!!" ;) It's *imperative*. Unfortunately, I too have felt distant and a little detached from the list at times, because I've never met any EDA's and have only even heard of one EDA who lives within 300 miles of me... I feel like crying when everyone talks about the gatheirngs they went to, and I always get a little freaky when listening to JewelStock tapes, but that's another reason why this list CANNOT go away. Even though I haven't been lucky enough to experience this stuff, TOO many people have been greatly touched by this list to let it die now... Besides, having this list has done alot for me as well... I love knowing that when I check my mail, I'm going to have SOMETHING interesting as well... amidst all the posts that nobody wants to read, i can always find some interesting news about Jewel, or other great artists, someone's inspiring poetry, or hear about some great EDA gathering that happened... there's too much good, and as far as I'm concerned the good MUST outweight the bad. :) And although I haven't met anyone in person, I've talked to some great people in IRC and that right there I appreciate... Anyway... This is probably not going to do any good, but I LOVE THIS LIST!!!!!!!!!! And I will fight as hard as I can to keep it going... WHO WILL FIGHT WITH ME? ;) One final quote: This list has stood by Jewel through thick & thin, and it's about time we stood by each other! :) Love you guys, *************HUGS************** - --Lisa or how bout........

Only believing what I want to. I'm living in an illusion, a movie called My life. I can only eat Tea and biscuits, milk and cookies. Life is my masquerade Always hiding my heart under a pillow. I can't see the trouble and agony, in the world revolving around me. Shut the windows, close the door, turn down the blinds. That's when I realize I am the illusion. my reality is lifes illusion. marija - ------------------------------------------ Happy Thoughts ================ I cried and cried and cried days on end. The funny thing was I'd seen it coming, It felt like my heart had been torn out with a blunt knife The plague of depression hit me hard. I sometimes thought of what would happen, if I slit my wrists and left a suicide note, blaming my depression on him. I hated that bastard with ever ounce of my soul. i suppose I would have killed if I had been given the chance I just wanted some sort of revenge, pain, torture but twice as bad as what he did to me. I don't think it matterd just as I got it. So I wrote my suicide note, then bought the razors, and sat in my room just thinking. My craving for sour grapes was still very strong , but there was something stopping me. Just as I was a bout to start carving my wrists... I remembered one time, we were over at his house just laughing, about some stupid inside joke, between only us. Those were the moments, I would have killed for. I love them most, out of my 16 years of life. And in that split second of hesitation I realized what I was actually doing. The jokes we had played on our 8th grade teacher, that time he fell out of the tree in my back yard. Right then I knew I would forgive him. Not for him but for me, I had already wasted too much time, dwelling over something I couldn't change. marija ================================================================ So those are just two (the second one was more of a short tiny story.) Please tell me what you think and e-mail me some of your own!! 0:) I luv you all marija P.S.Normality is only a state of mind, so remember we aren't always on the same wave length and sometime make mistakes along the way!!!

But that can change. There is one thing that hasn't happened for ages: Catch up before you post. Read all the mail. If you don't have time to read or at least see what everyone is talking about, you should not post IMO. Make mental notes to reply once you're done catching up- if it's that important, you'll remember it. Secondly, everyone would benefit from reading Mike's netiquette guide and abiding by it. If you give a rat's pootie about the list you will help yourself to what's available and digest it. I haven't posted much since I joined in '95. I'm just too exhausted to post after reading so many messages once I got to the point in my Jewel knowledge I felt I could make a valuable JC contribution. By flooding the list you're drowning out the JC posts, the reason you joined the list in the first place. Take a trip to www.smoe.org and look at the early 96 archives to get a feel for the list how it used to be. Lurking and mailing privately is how I participated in the list when I first joined for months before my first email to everyone. Running into a room with everyone talking and saying what's on your mind won't matter too much since no one is listening. Several people mailed me asking for Angelfood. I remember reading three list offers recently for Angelfood. This tells me that they may not be sincere about wanting it since they did not take the time to read all the posts. Of course there are exceptions (see, I spelled it right this time :) Only a few people mailed me about starting an Angelfood bank. These people deserve Angelfood since they were (and are) willing to help others. That's the EDA spirit. They will be getting something special from me in the mail once I get on my feet with my new job starting tomorrow (whoops, look at the time). Even if you don't have a dubbing deck, you could have volunteered your time with some other aspect of the project- look for opportunities to do good. Waves of positivity will go out through everyone you touch. Look what Jewel's done with her music in your life and the people around you! Hope no one took anything above the wrong way- nothing was intended to hurt your feelings. Be nice and take care, James, who actually did read all the mail and still has energy this one time :) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jul 1997 07:36:17 -0400 (EDT) From: Call The Doctor Subject: JC: Performing Songwriter mag Ben Folds, Jewel, and Duncan Sheik are on the cover of Performing Songwriter (Vol 5, Issue 25 July/August 1997).

Angels, every single one of us let's start opening our eyes and realize that we all are in jeopardy. I guess I shouldn't be talking for all of us, because I've only been on the list for a week, but I Love it for all the potential it has and for the incredible things it can offer to me and to you. I know that all of you, every single one of you, is a special person in it's own way, so let's reach into our heart and open it a little more, please! Let's do justice to Jewel and particularly Jeff for having united us all here and start redirecting this list onto its proper path, the path of Love, compassion, union and care; I won't even talk about Jewel because she's the main thing that draws people to this list. Her music and the way she looks at the world has changed the way many of us, consequently, look at everything that sorrounds us. If we like to believe that we are, perhaps not different, but more sensitive and aware to all that's arounds us just because we call ourselves angels, then let's wake up and realize that if we don't change the way we treat ourselves in our own 'home', we can never expect to treat anyone else from 'outside' in the proper manner. I have read many posts about the 'flame' this list once had and how it used to be just a cirlce, a gathering of close friends who, one day, had a sweet voice entering them and changing their lifes in a substancial way; Jewel's music has grown, has expanded beyond your borders and has reached other continents, countries and horizons. The list had to grow as big. I for one, know that it wasn't mainly Jewel's music that made me become an Eda, but the fact that I on one day stumbled by accident over the Jewel channel and I felt instantly at home with all those wonderful people there. I know that some of the people who frequent #Jewel aren't necessarily Eda's, but it's just for you to see that Jewel has an overwhelming effect on some of us and it can get contagious, on a good sense, of course. Everyone I have met at #Eda or at #Jewel is an exponent of care and Love for the next and have made me realize that there still are much more wonderful people out there than I had previously thought. I can't remember all of you, and I apologize to them who did receive me with open arms and that I may forget right now :-( but know that you're in my heart forever: - Gianfranco (thanks just for existing; you rule, man! :-) - Steve (we haven't talked much lately :-( but thanks for being there for me) - Chris (you and Jessie were made for each other; keep that Love flowing! And your baby is divine! I got the picture you sent. Loved it!) - Leif (you've been away for so long... thanks for all the things you said and for putting up with me) - Mary (this girl has the whole world on her heart! It was she who introduced me to Jewel; I had only known her 1 or two days ago, and she actually sent me a tape! All the way from America to Portugal! I don't have the words, dear... but I thank you deeply.) - Hunter Egg(...) (sorry about the name, but it slipped my mind :-( Thanks a million for everything, though. How's Muncie, btw?) - Erica (thanks for leading me through during my first times there. Take care) - Jen (this girl is lively as hell! :-) How's Matt?) - Tom ? (I have never seen you again, man. Where are you?) - Laura (this girl is from another galaxy, another dimension. I can't still believe that I actually met her. If any of you hurts her, you'll have to answer to me! :-D I maybe smiling, but I mean it!!) I'm sorry for all of you I've left out (and you were so many) but we have to think that bandwith is one of the things that we can't take for granted, too, if we want to keep this beautiful space. People, let's all unite and bring that 'flame' back! Not 1, not 100, but all of us, all our family struggling and sweating over something that's ours and that we should keep for the sake of all that's sacred! Let's just not say it, let's act it out!
