Hi Harpers,
Since things have been so hectic for me lately and with the closely approaching Holiday I think it best if we wait until after the New Year festivities to begin our quest for the Holy Harp Newsgroup. If we start now, I believe we will only be hurting our chances (not as many people reading due to the Holidays or whatever). Anyway, second week of January is what I am thinking as our starting place.
Next, addresses. From now on, it would be BEST to send all LISTSERV commands/requests to MXSERV~KUVX1.WKU.EDU. It seems that our LISTSERVer is NOT a listserver, it is the MX software 'pretending' to be a listserver. Anyway, Please use MXSERVER where you before would use LISTSERV.
Also, if you have not noticed yet, Western Kentucky University is on the Internet. This being true, all mail to and from Internet sites will be addressed as such. Meaning, if you are at a site with ONLY BITNET access the messages will be sent from HARP~KUVX1.BITNET. But if you are on the Internet, the messages will be addressed HARP~KUVX1.WKU.EDU. Right now it makes NO difference which address you post to (same goes for MXSERVER and ARCHIVES), but in the near future WKU will be DROPPING our BITNET services. So it would be a good idea to start getting used to using~KUVX1.WKU.EDU if you haven't already.
We've had alot of good stuff coming in lately, and a bunch of new members to the list. I have mixed feelings about the coming Holiday. I enjoy holidays and all that goes with it (and I will be MORE than happy for the break from classes), but I will be torn away from my computer terminal and all of my beloved Harp brethren.... *snif* *snif* I sort of chokes me up....
Ok, enough of that. In case I don't get around to it later (being bogged down by finals and all), I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and a lot of good Harpin'!
Keep the info coming in, I live for it!!!
