Brought over from press:
Note -- buffistas.org has a mailing list functionality. I can set up any required ones.
ita, that is so cool (and now that I think of it, I remember you mentioning this before, but maybe it was only to the admins). I can get Yahoo groups, but I'm not crazy about them.
That RULES. ita, can you set up a somervillains@buffistas.org list? Does one have to be a Stompy Foot to add people to it/manage it/etc? What's required to make it all happen?
I'd love to ditch yahoogroups.
I've set up a list. Jen, you're the owner. I haven't poked into the functionality (ezmlm) in depth, but here are the basic commands:
Hi! This is the ezmlm program. I'm managing the somervillains@buffistas.org mailing list.
I'm working for my owner, who can be reached at somervillains-owner@buffistas.org.
This is a generic help message. The message I received wasn't sent to any of my command addresses.
Here is a list of the command addresses supported:
Send mail to the following for info and FAQ for this list:
Similar addresses exist for the digest list:
To get messages 123 through 145 (a maximum of 100 per request), mail:
To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456, mail:
To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345, send an empty message to:
The messages do not really need to be empty, but I will ignore their content. Only the ADDRESS you send to is important.
You can start a subscription for an alternate address, for example "john@host.domain", just add a hyphen and your address (with '=' instead of '@') after the command word:
To stop subscription for this address, mail:
You know, I now remember how I knew that we had mailing list capabilities. It's because I use the admins mailing list. Duh!!!
Is it the weekend yet?
Fred, Shawn - I heard back from the bronzer attorney. She did some poking and says that it usually boils down to libel, so I either heard it from someone else originally, or made the whole damned thing up. Sorry for the confusion.
Changing my vote. Buffy 2: Hey, I've Died Twice.
But shouldn't that be for Buffy 3?
Stop being all logical and stuff!
Well, that's originally why I put it as "Hey she's died twice" - but I still think the "I've" is better.
Why does that need to be for the third thread, again? I thought it was being selected on the virtue of us having died twice, and it referring to the number two to boot.
Because Buffy herself is now Buffy Mark Three. But I can see it being the source of confusion.
