"You Take The High Notes" http://helius.carroll.com/p/leo_g/ There is a
difference between "dealers" and musicians that love not only the sound of
music but the tools wchich make it possible for people to play music. It's
important to set things free so they may ultimately find their way to
their intended parties. I am especially interested in Musical Instrument
History and technical data. Please email me with interesting links. Thank
you:-) Leo

I think John Poindexter and Ollie North took care of that back in the 80's.

Subject change:I have not noted any particular increase in spams or unwanted advertising
on the TubaEuphonium list. We still get spam from time to time, the thin
skinned need to learn that the easiest way to take care of spam is with a
quick click of the delete key. I run the email server for my company, so
one of the first duties each morning is going through and eliminating the
accumulated drivel from the previous night. I reek havoc in moments with
the fastest delete key in the Southeast. I would file notches in my
mouse for all the spam I kill, but I woundn't have much of a mouse left
after a couple of days.Leave the list where ever it is easy for you to maintain, the spam on the
list is a lot less annoying than the *&^#*^&% telemarketers that call on
the voice line.Cheers,

<< Greetings, bass enthusiasts.
For those of you that might be interested, Scott Rimm-Hewitt, a
tuba grad student at UNC at Greensboro, will be running the Boston
Marathon tomorrow (Monday, April 17) with a tuba strapped to his back.
He's doing it to support the arts. You might want to keep an eye out for
him on ESPN2 (I think they're the ones broadcasting the event). Has this
ever been done before? Is there a record for long distance running with
contrabass instruments?Cheers,
Tom Glickman >>
Did anyone see him in the race? I wasn't able to get back into Boston in time
after I dropped off my helicon after my parade. I was bouncing between 3
local channels and didn't see him. Was hoping to be able to catch him on
video for the CB Archives, but no luck. Good day for the race, although maybe
a BIT cooler than ideal. As usual those folks from Kenya took home a few
trophies!

>reflect that the group member likes musical instruments.The questionnaires that came out were (at least partly) my fault:
egroups provides a "poll" function, and I set up four polls. I *did*
check the option to send only to the poll originator, but it looks
like the poll itself was automatically sent to all list subscribers.My apologies: I had thought that the notice only came to me, and was
a notification that the poll had been set up. (Note: please don't
reply to the poll via email - the poll is accessed only through the
web site at egroups.) I agree: don't reply to anything by email.
However, the polls listed on the website show you the email address
of whoever created the poll - me, in this case. I elected the option
of showing only the numeric tabulation, not including the email
address of everyone who participates.I, too, had originally signed up for a few lists through onelist.com.
It appears that I now have an account at egroups, but checking my
"member profile" shows only my name and email address - not even the
"required" information like gender and age.Looking at the egroups privacy policy, it looks to me like their
cookies are used for navigation, and for tallying hit counts for
their banner ads. It is true that the banner ad advertiser can
obtain your browser info by virtue of surfing to the page that has
their banner on it, but you can avoid passing anything relevant by
not having your email address in the browser preferences file.My read on it is that the egroups cookies aren't used for spam
purposes, at least as long as one doesn't sign up for an "eLert" or
volunteer additional information, etc. However, I'll try an
experiment: I'll subscribe myself under a new, free email account,
used only for the egroups list, and see if I receive any spam there.
Anyone who is concerned is welcome to do the same. If you like, you
can set up your account and email me to subscribe it (avoiding the
need to ever "set foot" in egroups and provide information).>E-groups has defined spam as unsolicited dvertising from outside sources

>LeliaI hope you won't feel compelled to sign off. Frankly, I'm fed up
with receiving spam, and not getting any assistance from my ISP in
blocking it out. I'm tired of tracking down spammers several times
per day, sending out complaints, and having some appear on the list
anyway. Onelist and egroups seem to have little or no spam on their
lists, and my only purpose in migrating the list there is to reduce
the amount we receive. If anyone knows of a better alternative to
eGroups, I'd happily move the group there.Grant

>(And I still require the digest...I came home to a plethora of e-mails.)
>Regards, Regretfully,
>LedermanTell you what: the original list is still intact, and I can delete
the new one with a mouse click. I *think* the egroups list is
probably fine, and less subject to spam than the original list
(witness last weekend). However, if the majority prefer to go back
to the old list, I'll delete the new list and we can resume with the
old until I find a new ISP that supports email lists (and has better
spam canceling).This will *not* be an eGroups poll... To indicate your preference,
please send me your vote directly (not to either list), and please
put "VOTE" in the subject line so I can sort all these out. I'll
count up the results, and announce the results later this week.BTW, you should now be on the digest format. When I set up the list,
I painstakingly indicated each subscriber as either "immediate" or
"digest", and apparently everyone was set to "immediate." I've since
gone through the entire subscription list and set everyone to their
original preference.Again, if anyone has a better alternative, I'm all ears...
