Descriptions
-----------
This list is for discussion relating to the band Type O Negative. Any
relevant discussion is encouraged. Posting of binaries, irrelevant
discussion or messages containing the word "kewl" is usually frowned upon
and will subject the poster to copious flamage and insults. Unfortunately,
due to a recent lack of any new material from the band, the list regulars
have suffered a major IQ drop and so the discussion tends to wander to
things like body parts of the band members. If you don't believe me, pull
the archives for Aug. and Sept. '95. You are forewarned!
Please note that you will be insulted and your parentage will be called
into question if you ask dumb questions that have already been answered.
To avoid this pitiful fate, read on to see how you can read old list
messages.
Instructions
------------
To send a message to the list, mail to type-o@hpc.uh.edu. For help on
dealing with the mailing list software (for getting the archives or other
files which may be made available) send the message "help" to
majordomo@hpc.uh.edu.
Archives of previous messages are available; you can access a fully
searchable and reasonably cool index at
. If your mailer doesn't highlight that
or you don't know what it means, you need to open your web browser, select
"Open Location" or "Open URL" from some menu or another, and type in
http://www.hpc.uh.edu/type-o/
If you can't follow these directions, you need help. Talk to your service
provider or your friends or buy an "Internet for Dummies" book or
something.
If you don't have web access, you can still get the archives. You can also
FTP them from ftp.hpc.uh.edu (129.7.3.5) in /pub/type-o/list-archive or you
can even get them mailed to you. Send an email containing the following
line to majordomo@hpc.uh.edu:
index type-o
The system will respond with a list of files you can get. Choose the ones
you want, then send an email containing lines like the following to
majordomo@hpc.uh.edu:
get type-o type-o.9501
get type-o type-o.9602
The above lines would have the archives from Jan, 1995 and Feb, 1996 mailed
to you. You can include as many "get" lines as you wish. Be warned that
these archives can be very large (2MB) and may confuse some mailers or
overflow some email quotas.
Policies
--------
This list is unmoderated. Any message sent to this list that does not seem
to the software to be an administrative request will be immediately sent to
all of the list recipients. Replies to messages from this list will go
back to the entire list unless you specify another behavior to your mail
software. Please keep discussion relevant to the band and their body
parts, and edit the Subject: header appropriately.
Messages from this mailing list or its archives definitely do _NOT_
represent the official views of the University of Houston or its employees.
Thanks!
