Many years ago, the list was defined as below. It used to be that if things got nasty or persistently off-topic (guitar-centric posts for example), Kim [the list owner who pays for all this, since it does cost money] would offer a sometimes pointed reminder. Lately he appears to have taken a much more laissez faire attitude, and several of the guidelines below are routinely ignored (plain text posts, judicious editing of responses, etc.). TH -------------------------------- What is the Looper's Delight Mailing list? What types of things are discussed on it? Loopers Delight is a forum for discussing loops and loop based music. For posting, make sure you send to Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com. There isn't much that is considered off-topic, but it should somehow relate to looping if you don't want to irritate people. Past, present and future topics include looping devices and setups (Oberheim Echoplex, Lexicon Jam Man and Vortex, Boomerang, samplers, MIDI, effects, mixers, speakers, etc). We've also had threads about improvisation, creativity, books, recordings, computers, Torn, Fripp, Eno , DJs, ambient, industrial, minimalist music, hip hop, drum and bass, Indian Classical music, sequencing, looping theory and philosophy, etc., etc. You name it, we've probably discussed it. Are there posting guidelines for the Looper's Delight Mailing list? Please set your mail program to use plain text when posting to Looper's Delight. Posts formatted in HTML or rich text are annoying on mailing lists, since not everybody can see those. They also use up many times more bandwidth and disk space than plain text emails. Do not attach any files to your posts, as most people don't like getting file attachments from lists. This also includes those inane vcard things, background image graphics, audio files, etc. None of this junk is necessary for conveying your message anyway. When replying to another list post, please try to edit judiciously the previous poster's message that you are replying to. Don't leave the entire thing on there, as that is a waste of bandwidth, disk space, and time for everybody on the list. Please use a reply style that clearly shows which is your new text and which is the old text you are replying to. The traditional method of placing a > in front of previous text is perfect for this, and most email programs have a setting to do this automatically. Also, replies are set to automatically go back to the list, so please check the address if you want to reply to somebody privately.
