8) What is Dead-Flames? (Grateful Dead)
A mailing list that was the equivalent of rec.music.gdead. Dead-Flames
and the dead-flames digest was retired August 31, 1996.
Everything read in dead-flames was also read in rec.music.gdead and
vice-versa (except for those things posted to rec.music.gdead with a
restricted distribution that prevents them from reaching the node that
dead-flames originates from). Dead-flames was digestified, each mail
message may have contained many postings. Each message was about 600-700 lines
long (about 30K characters).
Even if you did't receive dead-flames, you can post to both dead-flames
and rec.music.gdead using email. Dead-flames was handy for those who do
not get usenet.news, for those who do get usenet.news but have a slow
feed, or even for those who have reading, but not posting, privleges
for usenet.news.
The following was the standard info that's always tacked on to each
dead-flames digest:
** FOR YOUR REFERENCE **
The service addresses, to which questions about the list itself and requests
to be added to or deleted from it should be directed, are as follows:

You can send mail to the entire list (and rec.music.gdead) via one of these
addresses:
