Overflow Mailing List:
Sometimes really interesting discussions wander way off topic on rec.music.filk. But nobody really wants to drop them, so here's a place for them to go. It's hosted by filknet; to subscribe either send a message to the fileserver at listar@filknet.org with the subject "subscribe overflow", or go to the filknet site, click on "mailing lists" and follow directions from there. If all else fails, email me and I'll subscribe you. All new addresses are run past me before being subscribed in order to keep out spammers and address leeches. In the past, the robot has also sent me any attempted posts from non-subscribed addresses just in case they're legitimate, however there have been so many spam attempts lately that I'm about to tell it to stop, so be sure you're subscribed BEFORE you post.)
