Email and Discussion List Center

  The Electronic Organ Discussion List is a new LISTSERV discussion list hosted by Douglas McMurry for the purpose of discussions related to the playing, servicing, modification, and rebuilding of all elecrtronic organs.
  Please save these instructions for future reference, especially if you are not familiar with a LISTSERV. In fact, you should create a new mail folder for messages like this one, and for the "welcome messages" from the list owners that you will occasionally receive after subscribing to a new list.

To Subscribe to the List:
    To subscribe, send an email to: . The first line of the note should consist of:

        subscribe EORG-L your@address Your Name

To Send Messages:
    To send a message to all the people currently subscribed to the list, just send mail to:

       "Electronic Organ Discussion List"

    This is called "sending mail to the list", because you send mail to a single address and LISTSERV makes copies for all the people who have subscribed. This address is also called the "list address". You must never try to send any command to that address, as it would be distributed to all the people who have subscribed. All commands must be sent to the "LISTSERV address", . It is very important to understand the difference between the two, but fortunately it is not complicated. The LISTSERV address is like a FAX number, and the list address is like a normal phone line. If you make your FAX call someone's regular phone number by mistake, it will be an unpleasant experience for him but you will probably be excused the first time. If you do it regularly, however, he will probably get upset and send you a nasty complaint. It is the same with mailing lists, with the difference that you are calling hundreds or thousands of people at the same time, so a lot more people get annoyed if you use the wrong number.

To Unsubscribe:
    To be removed from the list, send to the following command:

        unsubscribe EORG-L

Help:

    To receive help, send to the following command:

Administration:

  The Hammond organ Internet mailing list is for the discussion of technical aspects of Hammond organs regarding their playing, servicing, modification, and rebuilding. In addition, extensive discussion and information is available regarding Leslie speaker systems. Also included in discussion are issues related to various "clones" of Hammond organs using modern synthesizer technologies. A FAQ and and international repair shop listing are available.

 The mail volume on this list averages roughly 40 messages/day, and the technical content is generally high.

  This list is used to share a variety of information, including all sorts of questions (and the answers!) on Hammond organs, digital clones of the Hammond organ, related gear, playing technique, equipment reviews and opinions, references to places for purchase and/or repair of new or old gear, spare parts, for-sale listings for privately owned gear, and more. Everyone is welcome to join our discussions, but discussions mostly involve topics of interest to Hammond players and/or techs. If you are new to internet mail, to group discussion mailing lists, or to this group in particular, we ask that you take time to read the following material in detail before jumping in.

    By Popular Request the Theatre Organ Home Page announces a mailing list for the exclusive use of Theatre Organ lovers. Topics of discussion can include pipe theatre organs as well as electronics, even Hammonds, for we have nothing against good organ music of any kind. If it has to do with good organ music of any kind, you may post it. Technical questions and posts as well as technique and other musical questions may be posted.

To Send Messages to the List:

To Subscribe to the list, you simply issue commands to the automated ListServer as follows below. Note that only subscribed list members may send messages to the list. If in doubt what to do, Email and ask.

Helpful Hint:

    To keep track of all the mailing lists you may subscribe to, in an orderly fashion, we recommend that you maintain several E-Mail accounts. These can be obtained free from various places such as Hotmail.com, or theatreorgans.com. We then suggest you sign up one name to one list. For example, if you subscribe to the Hammond List, the PipeChat-L list or Piporg-L List and the Theatreorgans-L list, it may be helpful to have 4 email accounts. The first, is your regular EMAIL account, which you don't want polluted with posts from anywhere. Just private email, so when you log on you have your email there.
    Then maintain 3 additional separate email accounts. Subscribe to each list under a different account. To really be spiffy, get an email program like CALYPSO that allows you to read all of your pop3 type email in one program, sorted by folders.
