Shirly, I jest... here's the truth Ruth... IDM-r is rolling. -> PLEASE READ CAREFULLY <- ->The IDM-Reviews (IDM-r) Mailing List ->Description and Purpose: Quite simply, the "IDM-Reviews" Mailing List or IDM-r will exist as a "reviews only" version of the hyperreal.org supported "Intelligent Dance Music" mailing list. With the IDM and IDM-Digest lists growing to well over 900 members and daily list traffic surging at times into double digit KB's, the decision to offer a lower volume, higher content version of IDM was made. For more information regarding the specifics of the Intelligent Dance Music Mailing list, please refer to the definitive IDM home; http://www.hyperreal.org/music/lists/idm/ ->About IDM-r: IDM-r content will be comprised of "reviews" which have been culled from the general IDM list traffic and "reviews" sent directly to IDM-reviews. *It is not necessary to be subscribed to IDM or IDM-Digest to be able to read and contribute to IDM-r.* ->List administrators: The list administrators are Aran Parillo, xxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx and Brian Rachielles, xxxxx@xxxx.xxx. Aran, as current IDM-owner, will handle the administrative issues of the list and Brian will handle the process of review "moderation" and "approval". Notice to "free email" users and people with flaky Internet access. As is the case with IDM and IDM-Digest, if mail cannot be delivered to your email address for even a short period of time, you may be dropped from the list without notification, and you will have to re-subscribe using the instructions below. ->Subscriptions: You may subscribe to IDM-reviews by sending and email to xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx with the words "subscribe idm-reviews" by themselves in the body of a message. ->Unsubscriptions: Follow the same instructions, but use "unsubscribe idm-reviews" by itself in the message body. Send the mail from the same address you used to subscribe to the list. More assistance with the list server can be obtained by sending mail to xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx with "help" by itself in the message body. ->Sending messages to the list: As mentioned, the content of IDM-r will be "moderated" and comprised, for the most part, of "reviews" culled out of the general list traffic on IDM. The definition of "review" will remain the discretion of the list administrators, but will not be limited to "reviews" of any particular medium of Intelligent Dance Music. The Direct posting of content to IDM-reviews by IDM,IDM-Digest, and IDM-r members is encouraged. However, we do ask that one posting guideline be followed. Please use the below Subject line protocol; Artists Name - Title - Ancillary Information* *Ancillary information may be anything from the title of your review, the label of the release or the like. ->Listmail processing: All messages sent to xxx-xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx are bounced to Brian Rachielles for "approval" onto the IDM-r list. Please bear in mind unline IDM, your content will not appear "immediately" as all traffic will be "approved" by a human before being passed onto the list. All IDM-r content will be added to the IDM-reviews archive, which is located at http://www.findmail.com/listsaver/idm-reviews/ . Note that the HTML archive of this list at present will not reside on hyperreal.org. This is being done for two explicit reasons. First, the HTML-ing of mailing lists is resource consuming. Second, having the list archived "off site" helps drive home the point that your posting to this list implies consent to its distribution to the network community. ->Questions, comments, concerns: Please direct them to xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx #end of idm-reviews.info file
