The Third House - Communication

The symbol on the wheel for this House is two people taking hands, a test of trust and commerce for millenia.

I communicate for my living; I also communicate for fun. These are some of the lists on which I currently communicate (or have communicated some time in the past):

LISTSERV-type lists

To subscribe to these lists, you send mail to LISTSERV@host with the message SUBSCRIBE list, where host is the host name as shown below, and list is the list name as shown below (the part that comes before the @ sign). You can put your name in at the end of the subscribe line or not.

• BEE-L@CNSIBM.ALBANY.EDU The beekeepers' mailing list
• BRIT-IRON-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU Dedicated to British motorcycle marques. They have a homepage, too.
• EARLYM-L@AEARN.ACO.NET Chat about Medieval, Renaissance and early Baroque music. Some overlap with rec.music.early. Immense volume.
• ferret-l@cunyvm.cuny.edu The list for lovers of mustela putorius furo, the domestic ferret. Legalization efforts, health, stories, etc.
• MORRIS@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU The Morris Dancing Discussion List. I recommend digest form; the list can get busy. They also have a webpage.
• rendance@morgan.ucs.mun.ca Renaissance dance; technical details and related discussion.
• wetleather@micapeak.com The Pacific Northwest Bikers' Social Mailing List. My very best sleazy biker friends. Bikes, malt whiskey, food, weather, bikes, mushrooms, art, music, bikes. VERY high bandwidth; not for the faint of heart.

non-LISTSERV lists

As a general rule, to subscribe to these lists you send mail to listname-request@host, and in the body of the message put: subscribe your name. That is, your human name, not your machine address, which the software picks up automatically.

• chile-heads@globalgarden.com You've visited the web page, now read the (voluminous) mailing list! Send mail to majordomo@globalgarden.com and put SUBSCRIBE chile-heads in the message body.
• med-and-ren-music@mailbase.ac.uk A scholarly list, very serious. I lurked, mostly; obvious ignorance is not often tolerated... On the other hand, it's fascinating stuff! Note, it's been a long time since I got mail from these folks; they may no longer exist...
• sca-west@rogues.net The mailing list for the West Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism. See the Web page for more details.

I also subscribe to the BayGourmet and Iron Chef lists at onelist.com. If you have more time on your hands than prudence, check out Stephanie and Peter da Silva's bloody huge Publicly Accessible Mailing Lists database of doom.

Essays & Stuff

This could easily go under the heading of creativity (and is actually there as well), but if you're interested in reading communications of my opinions, you may.
