Aperiodic Admin Reminder



Dear List -

Given the recent misdirected "remove me" messages, now seems like a good time to send out this reminder of AUDITORY list mechanics.

In particular, to unsubscribe you need to follow a link to your "private AUDITORY page".

You can get that link either from the automatic message you received when joining, or by emailing me directly to ask, or by visiting the the AUDITORY index page http://www.auditory.org/audindex.html , and clicking on the mailback link on your own record's page.

  DAn.

Dear List -

Here's a reminder of some administration details for the email list AUDITORY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:

Messages for the entire list should be sent to AUDITORY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (case doesn't matter).  As an "anti-spam" measure, the Listserver will reject messages if it doesn't recognize the "From:" address in your message as exactly matching one of the list recipients.  Regrettably, this results in a lot of false alarms; if you have trouble posting, please just let me know so I can fix your address (or you can do it yourself as described below).

The biographical database as well as an archive of postings are available on the web at:

        http://www.auditory.org/audindex.html

In an effort to protect the privacy of members, please do *not* publish links to this page. That way we can keep it out of Web indexes, with the hope it will only be accessed by those who know the address.  You will also notice that almost all the email addresses on the site have been rendered with "(at)" replacing the ampersand in another attempt to outwit automated email address harvesting.

Members can edit their own database entries (including changing the email address used, or inactivating/reactivating the account) via a web page, whose URL includes a code to restrict access.  Clicking the link at the bottom of the page displaying your record (accessed via the audindex link above) will send the edit URL, including the code, to your email address as registered on the list.  Also, I am happy to generate the URL and mail it to you directly.

The home page for the list is:

        http://www.auditory.org/

which includes links to the postings archives, as well a few other resources.  (The postings archives and the member-list are also available for download via HTTP as plain files in the baselevel directory under member-list, postings-1993.gz, postings-1994.gz etc.)

There are currently two styles of archive available on the site, termed "classic" and "threaded".  The "classic" index shows all messages in chronological order, like a conventional mail reader.  The "threaded" index uses the MHonArc package to convert messages to web pages and arranges them into threads based on their subjects etc.  MHonArc does a nicer job of converting message formats to HTML pages than classic mode, which is confused by non-ASCII mail.

To be removed from the list, you can use the web interface described above.  You can suspend your receipt of AUDITORY messages temporarily by switching your subscription to inactive, then using the same page to switch it back to active at some later date.

New subscriptions can be initiated via the web at:

        http://www.auditory.org/dpwe-bin/audform

Alternatively, these or any other admin matters can be sent to me at:

        auditory-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

which is simply forwarded to dan.ellis@xxxxxxxxx .
