Hi,
I'm the moderator of the CLASSICCMP list.
In order to subscribe, you need to send a message to
listproc(a)u.washington.edu
You need not put in a subject, but this line must be in the message:
subscribe classiccmp ______
Except instead of underlines, write your name, like this:
subscribe classiccmp Abraham Lincoln
Make sure there's no signature at the end of the message -- only the command
should be there.
You'll get a confirmation message from the software; reply to that, and you're
subscribed! The account you use to subscribe is the one that the software will
send messages to.

Hey, Derek, there's a big different between being a list *moderator* and
list *maintainer*. Which is it? (And, BTW, thanks for saving the list if
it's the latter :-)
And what's the story with the old ClassicCmp website? I've never seen it
myself.

Oh, such gratitude. You don't want me to moderate the list, just maintain it?
Hmph.
Anyway, I'm currently the list owner. That means that the listproc software
lets me do useful things that normal people can't do. (I think there's one
other level above me -- list manager -- and I think I'm not allowed to change
certain things. For example, unless I'm wrong, we have alternate addresses
disabled, so you can't subscribe from one address and have messages sent to
another. And I don't think I can change that.)
The main benefit of my role is that the UW is now appeased, because they
don't have to run the list any more... I get to do that. :) But you're right;
the list is currently set to "unmoderated". I could set it to
"moderated" if
everybody REALLY wants, and then messages would take longer to go through!
Or we could just stay on topic voluntarily. :)
And what's the story with the old ClassicCmp
website? I've never seen it

I'm trying to extract the CD from Bill Whitson. Unfortunately, his car broke
down last week, so it hasn't happened yet. (More importantly, I don't have
the Apple //e I was gonna get from him.) Although he told me, "I hate cars.",
we just had a freak accident here in which someone shot a bus driver and the
bus toppled over the side of a bridge, bounced off an apartment building, and
crunched into the ground. So cars are looking pretty good right now. :)

I never heared of such a thing over here. Shooting a bus driver ?
The last time I remember was I think 1972 at the Munich Olypics,
at the masacre on the airport (you may remember the terrorist
attack) - and of course similar things had hapend in the Bosinan
war. But in an ordinary city ? And mestupidone belived Seattle
to be a 'regular' safe place.

No, I live in Seattle, Washington, USA! (I go to the same school that Bill
Whitson -- the previous moderator -- worked for.)

I don't think this sort of thing has happened here in decades. Seattle is
still very safe, though it's slowly becoming more like a "real" big city,
instead of the charming small city it used to be, unfortunately.
Your mail server may be acting up again (I got some sort of error message,
which I think I erased).

Actually, a few months ago, a bus driver was stabbed to death here in Boston.
And of course, buses are blown up often in Israel, though nothing has happened
recently. But what were the results of this incident, Derek? How many
injured/killed?

How about picking up a newspaper to find out instead of asking about it
here?

For various values of local. I suspect it didn't get much coverage
over there in Europe, but it seems to have gotten coast-to-coast
attention in North America. As usual, the folks who want to keep
firearms out of the hands of law-abiding citizens are having thier
little orgasms.

Three people have already died. The driver died from his gunshot wound,
the person who shot the driver shot himself and died, and one passenger died
from the trauma of being thrown out of the bus.
About thirty people are injued. Some people are in serious condition and
(I would guess) may die; some people are in satisfactory condition (one person
in satisfactory condition won't be able to walk for months because of broken
bones); some people suffered "only" things like a broken arm.
If the bus had hit the water there would have been many more deaths.
This is getting pretty far off-topic, I think.

Perhaps if those responding to posts with something that is off-topic or
that changes the subject would change the subject header to:
A) Reflect the actual content of the message, with a reference to the old
message and/or
B) Indicate that the reply is off topic, with the letters OT as a prefix
...we could avoid the usual flame war and reposts of the FAQ. That way,
people who don't want to read anything but messages concerning the
collecting/restoration of classic computers can either hit the delete
button or automatically filter out any messages who's subject contains
"OT" and those who like a casual, conversational atmosphere can enjoy the
social dialog. I often enjoy the tangent threads here, but I can't stand
trying to follow a discussion when 10 messages with the same, exact
subject are about 10 completely different topics. This point has been
brought up before, and, IMHO, it's really just a common courtesty that
could save us all a lot of unnecessary grief.

You know a list is in trouble when the list "moderator" is off-topic :)

Oops... that was supposed to go to the original sender, not the list.
Didn't I see something about how it's possible to "subscribe" by sending
mail
to the list itself (rather than the list processor), except that that isn't
the same as a normal subscription? If someone could clue me in, I'd be very
grateful.
