================================================ Subject: New to the list or trying to figure out how it works? Read up! From: "]\\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[" To: Date: Thu 14 Feb 2002 21:27:29 -0500 ================================================ Welcome to the Creed Mailing list... you are here because at some point, you asked to be subscribed to it... don't deny it, it really happened. Be prepared to receive several hundred emails a day. Some days are slower than others, so you may only receive 50-100 emails. Some days you may receive 500+. During slower periods, we will discuss other topics and/or issues, but single-line posts are usually frowned upon. We tend to mark these un-related posts with NCR. Any message marked with NCR means : Not Creed Related. So if you're here JUST for the Creed stuff, go ahead and delete those emails, but I assure you, most of the discussions are fun and you're more than welcome to join in at any time! We're all pretty open here. Some of us have been on the list for a few years, some a few days, but we accept everyone, as long as you're tolerant of each other and are here to have fun! If you want to check out stats on people on the list (and at the same time cut down on asl requests), be sure to visit http://www.creedlisters.com. Add your own while you're at it by going to http://www.geocities.com/creedlisters/Submit.html! List archives are available at http://www.creedlisters.com/archives, but as these are maintained by a list member, they are only periodically updated. If you ever have any questions, feel free to ask the list, we'd be more than happy to help! Just a few quick notes though: - The list will not accept binary attachments (pictures or files)... and most people will not like being sent attachments unsolicited... so please check with a person first - The list has a 250-line limit per post... counting all headers. HTML (Rich Text) e-mail is not always a good idea for here... it may look nice, but the list will almost triple the number of lines in that post before sending it, cutting down the length you are allowed to around 60 lines... plain text works best. - Creed just kicked off their tour in Atlanta with Virgo's and Tantric, and will be visiting many US cities before moving on to Australia... eventually coming back to the States for more dates (TBA). The third album, "Weathered", was released November 20th, 2001, and is currently #1 for it's 8th week strait. - You can sample the entire album "Weathered" in streaming audio at http://creednet.com/audio/weathered/weathered.html - Please try to refrain from sending virus warnings or e-mail forwards to the list... especially if you have not confirmed the mail at a reputable source, like http://www.snopes2.com and http://www.antivirus.com/vinfo/hoaxes/hoax.asp. - "Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it." Sarcasm will play a big part here... always keep that in the back of your mind when reading posts... it will save everyone lots of trouble and fights. - NP = Now Playing. You'll find this tagged at the bottom of many posts... it is just the way of informing the readers of what the writer is listening to on the stereo or MP3 while they are writing their post... also a good way of knowing who listens to what, and hearing a bit about some new bands. - Problem with your computer or problems with setting yourself up with the list, feel free to mail me (NightStorm_Draco@isyourgod.com) and I'll do everything I can to help... to keep it off the list more than anything else. - Creed does not post to this mailing list. If you'd like to get ahold of them post on the bulletin boards, as they've been known to read those, or mail them at: Creed c/o Hanson Management 15S. Orange Avenue Orlando, Florida USA 32801 - If you want off the list, don't mail the list and ask for it. The directions are included in the initial mail you received after subscribing, as well as at the bottom of 95% of the mail that comes from the list. The directions are also included in this post, near the bottom. Don't expect anyone else here to do it for you... you need to go and remove yourself. - And last but not least...we're all here because we love Creed. A lot of us have made friends on this list. Just because it may seem kind of cliquey, doesn't mean we won't accept you! We love making new friends, so introduce yourself, and jump on in!
