My name is Mike Connell and I manage the Jewel and Patty Griffin 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 operating costs (NOT a small penny) and of course had paid for the expensive equipment it presently runs on. He's 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 and groups as Happy Rhodes, Paula Cole, Jewel, Garbage, Patty Griffin, Tori Amos, Thomas Dolby, Poe, Susan Werner, Leah Andreone, Lucious Jackson, Maria Callas, the Indigo Girls, Shawn Colvin 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 buku bucks here, just whatever you can give, whether it be $1, $2, $5, $10....whatever. You can send a check, a money order, or if a buck or two or three you can send cash (that is your choice) Money orders are a piece of cake. (At least in the USA) They don't have a large fee at all, generally less than a buck, sometimes as low as 35 cents....although money orders from banks usually carry a larger fee (go figure ;-) Your best bet for a money order (in the USA) would be from the US Post Office....all money orders there have an 85 cent fee no matter what the dollar amount of the money order is. *** All checks or money orders should be made out to Jeff Wasilko :-) FOREIGN (Non-USA) LIST MEMBERS: I'm not sure at all what is the best method for you folks. We are open for suggestions. I know that the USA Post Offices cash Canadian Postal money orders, so no problem there, Jeff can cash them there. Of course, any foreign cash sent in can easily be exchanged at a bank. From what he told me, his bank has a 15$ 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 :-) 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 :-) ------------------------------ End of recycled-bin-digest V2 #16 *********************************
