3x3 EYES MAILING LIST Welcome to the 3x3 Eyes Mailing List! This list is for the discussion of 3x3 Eyes, the Japanese anime and comic series. Other series by creator Yuzo Takada, such as Blue Seed and Bannou Bunka Neko Musume, are occasionally discussed as well. You may want to send a short introduction to the list after you join. We're a friendly group and are always glad to welcome new fans. WWW HOME PAGE ============= The mailing list now has an official home on the web: http://www.sazan.net/3x3EyesML/ There you can find the latest list announcements, a form for easily subscribing and unsubscribing, and a fully searchable archive of list messages. SUBSCRIBING AND UNSUBSCRIBING ============================= The easiest way to subscribe or unsubscribe to a list is to use the WWW form on the mailing list home page mentioned above. Subscription requests can also be made by email. There are two addresses for administration requests. normal list: 3x3eyes-request@sazan.net digest list: 3x3eyes-digest-request@sazan.net To subscribe or unsubscribe at your current address, send a message to the appropriate address with the word "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" (no quotes) in the body of the message. For more detailed instructions, email one of the addresses with the word "help" in the Subject (not body) of the message. POSTING TO THE LIST =================== To post a message that will be seen by all other subscribers, send it to the following address: 3x3eyes@sazan.net It does not matter if you are subscribed to the normal list or the digest version; all messages should be sent to the address above. (Do NOT send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to this address. Use one of the -request addresses mentioned in the previous section.) When responding to a message posted to the list, by default the response is sent only to the original sender and not to the whole list. This is to avoid the embarrassing situation where a private response is accidentally sent to everyone. To send a reply to all subscribers, use the "Reply to All" feature of your mail software, or change the "To:" address of your reply to the address given above. LIST ETIQUETTE ============== Here are some general guidelines that you should consider before posting to the mailing list. Posts to the list should be related to 3x3 Eyes. Please do not post chain letters, virus warnings, and so forth. Some off-topic posts will be tolerated if they are of interest to anime and manga fans, but try not to stray too far from the subject of the list. Only the list admins are allowed to do that. ^_^;; Also, avoid sending binary files to the list. Before asking a question on the list, check the 3x3 Eyes FAQ: http://www.sazan.net/digest/3x3faq.shtml Many answers to Frequently Asked Questions can be found there. Please be careful about posting spoilers to the list. Any part of the 3x3 Eyes story that has not been animated *and* which might spoil the enjoyment of someone if they learned about it too soon is considered a spoiler. In other words, that a character name Haan exists is not a spoiler, but what happens to Haan in manga vol. 28 is. If you think your post might be a spoiler, be sure to put the word "SPOILER" in the subject line or at the beginning of the message, and include a few blank lines before and after the spoiler text. Also mention the topic of the spoiler (ex. "possible SPOILER: manga v.30 questions"). When in doubt, it is always safe to include a spoiler warning. When responding to a message, please only include the relevant parts of the previous message, not the entire thing. This is especially important for those subscribed to the digest list, since the original message can be very long. Finally, please be nice to your fellow subscribers. The 3x3 Eyes Mailing List has managed to remain free of flame wars, and we would like to keep it that way. It is OK to disagree with someone, just be considerate. ARCHIVE ======= An archive of past mailing list digests is available via anonymous FTP: ftp://ftp.sazan.net/pub/3x3EyesML/ The archive can be searched using the form on the list home page. HISTORY ======= The idea for the 3x3 Eyes Mailing List came from Fred Gallagher, and the list was originally set up by Chae An on his best.com account. David Park was brought in to raise the number of list administrators to three (the magic number), and the list opened to the public on June 3, 1996. When Chae decided to drop his best.com account, the list migrated to its current location at sazan.net. The new list opened on November 13, 1998. In April 1999, sazan.net moved to a new web host, and the mailing list software changed from majordomo to SmartList. If you have a problem and need to contact an administrator, send email to owner-3x3eyes@sazan.net for assistance. -- the 3x3 Eyes ML admins: Chae An (chaean@umich.edu) Fred Gallagher (fred@fredart.com) David Park (dpark@sazan.net) --
