Description
This article is from the Gaffa - Love-Hounds - Kate Bush FAQ, by Ulrich Grepel uli@zoodle.robin.de with numerous contributions by others.
1.2. What is Love-Hounds?
Love-Hounds is the mailing list version of rec.music.gaffa for those
people who do not have usenet access. This means that anyone with the
ability to send and receive mail can take part. |>oug /\lan, founder
of Love-Hounds, did only later provoke the people on rec.music.misc
to let him create rec.music.gaffa. Together, the mailing list and r.m.g.
form an informal fan club called "Love-Hounds."
To post something to both, the mailing list and the newsgroup, you best
send an email to
love-hounds@gryphon.com
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@gryphon.com
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 have
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.
