Welcome to The Landing Mailing List! This is a Squirrel Nut Zippers mailing
list, availible in digest form. That means that instead of getting a whole
bunch of loose e-mail throughout the day from fellow SNZ fans, you can not
get this list once a day. This list was inspired by the wonderful Listbot
list that Matt Mitchell hosted through his website. It's not in competition
with that list, but I hope that many of the friends I made through there
will join me here.

For the most part, I hope that all of our discussion on the list will
somehow be Zipper related. Since the Zippers are influenced by so many
different kinds of music, and since most of the fans have a wide musical
taste, it shouldn't be hard to come up with some content in your messages
about the Squirrel Nut Zippers. 

For now, off-topic posts will be accepted, but please keep them to a
minimum. When the Zippers return from their hiatus (somewhere around June
of 1999) I will begin to crack down on way off-topic posts. A person who
continually posts  about non-Zipper related things will be warned, and if
such posting continues, will be removed from the list.

An example of an on-topic post:
	Today after school my friends and I went swing dancing. it was so much fun!
An example of an off-topic post:
	Today after school my friends and I went to the mall. it was so much fun!

BINARY FILES: This server does NOT support binary (picture, document, etc.)
files and attaching a file to your post is prohibited. A binary file can
crash another list member's computer, contain a virus, or simply be
annoying to others. Posting of a binary file will get you promptly booted
from the list.

REPLYING: To reply to a message from the DIGEST form of The Landing, you
can either 1) compose new mail, sending it to the-landing@smoe.org, and
refer to the post which you are replying to 2) hit "reply" and then DELETE
ALL UNNECESSARY TEXT before typing your reply beneath the original post. DO
NOT RE-SEND THE WHOLE DIGEST. The first and second time you do it will get
you a warning. The third time you re-send a complete digest, you will be
removed from the list. 
 
To reply to mail in the LOOSE MAIL form of The Landing, you must make sure
that your reply is sent to "the-landing@smoe.org" and not to the sender if
you want it to appear as part of the list. If you want to reply just to the
sender, you can simply use "reply"
