inaugural "hammond" posting (again!)

["Mark Longo" <longo@zk3.dec.com>]

        Hello, it's me again...

        Weel, my first attempt to start the hammond mailing list flew 
into the nearest hillside.  But with the generous help of Bradley Baker 
I've done more complete outside access testing the this time.  As near 
as I can tell, the hammond interest list is now ready for general 
postings (fingers crossed).

        To send mail to all the folks on the list, simply address your 
mail to:

        hammond@zk3.dec.com

        This is a slight change from the address I posted before so be 
sure you correct any mail aliases you set up previous to now.  I tried 
to set things up so that when you do a "reply" to this message, your 
mailer will insert the distribution list address into the "To:" field, 
rather than the name of the person who sent the message.

        So far there are 21 of us on the mailing list.  The only 
guildline I propose for list use is that whatever we discuss be related 
to the Hammond sound, at least tangentally.  My purpose in starting and 
maintaining this list is to have a an informal forum through which 
people who love the Hammond sound can share information, views, reviews, 
advice, references, opinions, etc.  Also, I really must insist that all 
list members treat each other with respect and consideration always.

        Let's start things off by each of us introducing ourselves to 
the list.  Include your best e-mail contact info, listing the gear you 
play, describing any special interests you have, and what your own 
expertise is (presuming that you're willing to answer occasional 
questions in that area).
