All, One day into the new mailing list and a couple of notes: o The list is restricted so that only members can post to it - this is to avoid junk mail from the outside. The way I had it set up didn't allow members of the digest versions to post but this should be fixed now - let me know if it isn't. o Some mail addresses are consistently bouncing and holding up the queues to the rest of you. As policy I will remove these bad addresses after about 10 consistent bounces and the bad addresses will be told about this for some time in case they wake up. The following undeliverable addresses have been removed: geoffr@erols.com litausa@aol.com chriz11@aol.com bijoux13@aol.com sfeane@force9.net. I won't be telling you everytime I do this but I inherited these addresses from the old list. o Finally a plea: from the number of people subscribing and then rapidly unsubscribing I suspect the large amount of non B&S postings are putting people off. I don't want to be dogmatic but from experience mailing lists only survive if there is a high signal-to-noise ratio. There are now over 200 people on this list so please try to make sure what you are saying is of interest to most BELLE AND SEBASTIAN fans! This is not a general discussion list for related music - join indiepop for that. Hmm that's made me unpopular. If anyone has comments on this then let ME know rather than the list - I promise I will post a summary. But let's make sure this list keeps going...
