I am Standing Bear. I am the "list-owner". It is my
"job" to deal with the technical details of delivering your
posts to the other members of the list.
Please feel free to send any and
all questions regarding the posting guidelines,
as well as input, suggestions, complaints, and jokes to me using this form.
I am also maintaining this website. Your suggestions and submissions
should be sent to me as well, and I will make every effort to make the
website reflect the list membership.
Here are the answers to some Frequently Asked Questions about
the list:
Why is the list's "who" not
available?
I've discovered that when the "who" of an email list is
"open," those who use mass-mail to advertise their products
can 'harvest' the list of email addresses for use in their
advertising. It is not the intention of closing the
"who" to prevent list members from knowing who the other
members are. I will be more than happy to send a list of the email
addresses subscribed to the list to anyone who is also subscribed to the
list upon request.
Why do I have to confirm my subscription
request?
This is another security measure designed to prevent you from being
subscribed to the list without your permission. It is a feature of
the majordomo program, and is a very standard list-management practice.
Who is this majordomo guy and why is he so
rude?
majordomo is a 'list-server' computer program which actually manages the
forwarding of members' posts to the list. It is also the means for
managing your subscription to the list. If
you need to get help from a human person, please email
me.
What happened to the old website?
The site that Eagle Spirit created several years ago fell into some
disrepair [it happens]. I am in the process of reviewing it, and
hope to have the links to member's websites and the membership
recommendations of books and shops re-established soon. Please send
me your submissions for the website.
