It is a
'closed' list which means that only subscribers may post to the list.
This is mainly to avoid nuisance and SPAM postings. It has been setup
on our own business website and we are using the mailing software our
provider offers. This means that you need to :
- visit the registration
website to provide your
e-mail details.
- respond to an e-mail requiring
confirmation.
If you do not respond to the
confirmation e-mail automatically generated by the mailing
list :
- you will not be subscribed
to the list - (and)
- the list-owner (that's me)
will have no idea you wish to join
The computer-aware surfer might very
logically attempt to send a 'SUBSCRIBE' message to the list, but
this only generates a message to me saying that an illegal posting has
occurred. I have been responding to these messages by subscribing the
authors manually. If you have any difficulties with the
registration procedure please e-mail me
Barry.Say@nspipes.co.uk
The mailing-list is a forerunner of the 'Friends' organisation and is a
bit like an extended public meeting.
At the moment we need
- lots of potential
subscribers who are willing to give a relatively small donation to
prove their commitment to a bagpipe museum. This will give us leverage
with the council.
- a pool of talent from which we
can elect the administrators.
- ideas which will promote the
bagpipe museum, within the piping community and to the wider
populace.
For the moment, I will attempt to ensure that there is a message to the
list at least twice a week, so if you hear nothing within a week,
please e-mail me at
Barry.Say@nspipes.co.uk
