[Last updated on: Mon Feb 14 18:39:41 2000] Everyday Thoughts was created to provide the opportunity for Everyday Angels to express their thoughts, poems, etc. Anything discussing Jewel is welcome to the list as well, although the list is not intended to detract from the existing Jewel list ( jewel@smoe.org ). The purpose of the list is to serve as a complement to the Jewel list. However, you do not necessarily have to be a member of the Jewel list to join the list. Below are some guidelines for posting to eda-thoughts. To post to the list, send an email to: eda-thoughts@smoe.org All posts from this list will automatically have ET: leading off the subject for easier identification. You don't have to add the ET:, the list software does it! * Please, no flame wars. People subscribed to this list for the friendliness of the EveryDay Angel community. Please help keep it friendly! * Posts are not required to be on any certain topic and can include things as listed above, such as poetry, thoughts, stories, etc. * Please, no requests for "angelfood" on this list -- it is okay to request angelfood from list members though if you wish. The Jewel list is usually a better place to ask since there are many more members and it is more likely you will receive a response as this list will be MUCH smaller. * Please, no discussion of bootleg CDs, as they are illegal. As far as Jewel CDs are concerned, if you aren't certain if a CD is an illegal bootleg or not, one simple rule of thumb is that if it has over 7 songs on it, and it is not Pieces Of You or Spirit or one of the foreign versions of either, then it is an illegal bootleg CD. If you have any questions on this, feel free to ask Mike Connell at ducksoup@quackquack.net - he owns/manages the regular Jewel list and has offered to help anyone who has any questions on this. * Also, please do not discuss the audio/video digital formats of MP3 and MPEG3. They are being actively cracked down upon by the RIAA (Recording Industry Artists Association). They've shut down some websites and even a few lists! * One last "don't". Please don't try to sell anything on this list. One of Jeff's policies is that the ONLY thing that can be sold on a smoe list is something related to the topic of that list. (i.e. Jewel stuff on the Jewel list). Since this list isn't really topic/artist oriented, nothing really can be sold here. (although the phrase "a penny for your thoughts" seems to fit here......OK.....you CAN sell your thoughts for a penny, but that's about it :-) I know it seems like a lot of don'ts, but it's not really. Think of all the DO's!!! Oh, by the way, this list has an official web page. It's at: http://members.tripod.com/~eda_thoughts/index2.html Of course, for more info on Jewel, the EDAs and the Jewel mailing list, you can also check out Mike's page (Jewel Everyday Angels List Homepage & Guide) at http://www.quackquack.net/jewel If you have anymore questions feel free to email Lara at or Mike at ducksoup@quackquack.net Thanks to Jeff Wasilko (who owns smoe.org) for the server space! We really appreciate his generosity!
