1.2. What is Love-Hounds?

Love-Hounds is the mailing list version of rec.music.gaffa for those

To post something to both, the mailing list and the newsgroup, you best send an email to:

love-hounds@uunet.UU.NET

If you think you want to be on the safe side you might want to subscribe to the mailing list as well as to the newsgroup, because minor problems with the software might cause some messages lost on one of the sides. (This hasn't happened for a long while now.)

To subscribe to Love-Hounds you should send a friendly mail to Bill Wisner, the "moderator" of the list. Send it to

love-hounds-request@uunet.UU.NET

and specify whether you want bounce mail (every single message is forwarded to you) or 24h digests (all messages of a day are packed into one mail). Remember that human beings aren't working 24 hours on each of those 365 days a year.

You can also subscribe by using other networks (America Online, Prodigy, etc.). You might have to find out how to reach the Internet using your carrier; for example, on Compuserve this works by adding ">INTERNET:" in front of the addresses. Most of these services now direct access to the usenet newsgroups, so rec.music.gaffa should be available directly.

Richard Caldwell, a fellow Love-Hound, gives you access via the Big Sky BBS, 24 hours a day at 614-864-1198 (up to 14.4k baud). Only charge is your phone bill for a long distance call.

Another Kate-related BBS is The Electronic Cafe at 1-805-399-3636. A Kate-related BBS in Canada called Night Scented Stock, run by the former editor of the fanzine Still Breathing. It's unfortunately not connected to Love-Hounds, but may soon be. 1-604-572-4733.
