Thanks for all the feedback folks! I�m really a bit overwhelmed at all your positive response and all the personal offers to help support MapInfo-L with actual cash and resources. We�re actually in no danger of ending up begging on the street it seems. I think to start with we will keep any advertising pretty light. It doesn�t take much to keep us going but it�s not nothing, either. So you may or may not see an ad in the future occasionally. If these do appear, they will be as short and pithy as possible (40 words max), focused on MapInfo-related interests, and I�ll try to make sure you don�t get too much spam in your email diet. You can sing the Monty Python Viking Song at me if it ever gets too much up your nose. (1200-part harmony should be pretty interesting!) Okay, enough philosophy; here�s the deal. On Wednesday, Sept 27, Jeff Koncz (Direction Magazine�s web wizard) and I will transfer all the current subscribers from the old list to the new. This will take a little time to do so messages will probably still be flowing over both lists for a while. We may mess up a thing or two so give us a day or so to sort it out before you scream bloody murder. You can also unsubscribe yourself from the old list, and sign yourself up to the new anytime now if you like. Here�s how: To sign up to the new list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the body of the message, just put: subscribe MapInfo-L and that will do it. To send public mail to the new list, the address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can start sending mail there as soon as you are signed up. The old list will be closed after Oct 6th. Maybe mail will get forwarded, but things may be melting down pretty quickly over at Supernet then, so I wouldn�t get stuck there if I were you. If you don�t remember how to get off the old list, just send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the body of the message put: unsubscribe MapInfo-L BTW, spelling counts (but type-case doesn�t). "uscriv", "unsusbribe" and other random associations of letters will get you null results. Remember you�re giving commands to a robot, and it�s a pinhead. Like any computer, it will do exactly what you tell it to do... which is why computers can be so frustrating at times. Whether you wait to be transferred automatically, or do it yourself, you will receive a "Welcome" message that will tell you all about MapInfo-L and how to use the Directions Magazine majordomo mailing list software. If you don�t get a welcome message by Friday, the transporter beam failed, and all your atoms are scattered hither an yon throughout cyberspace. Bummer. Now you know what it�s like to the "geologist" on any Star Trek I episode. But should that unlikely event happen, just follow the above instructions, or contact me, and all will be cool once again. -- - Bill Thoen ------------------------------------------------------------ GISnet, 1401 Walnut St., Suite C, Boulder, CO 80302 tel: 303-786-9961, fax: 303-443-4856 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ctmap.com/gisnet ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
