This list seems to be getting harder...

For a very long time now I have been unable to mail to this list; now
it appears that I can as I have been resubscribed -- so I now get two
copies of ever message. This happened while I was away on a trip, so
I return to 600 message in 40 hrs! How on earth do I control this?
Can I go some kind of no-mail of the address from which I can post, so
send as B and receive as A? I am getting increasingly frustrated with
this list!

Hi John,

I wonder if you have discovered digest mode?

I haven't tried it but I will probably start that way as soon as I can resume. At first, it used to puzzle me that there were replies to various digests, none of which were appearing. There is so much repetition of messages with sometimes minimal comments on them that it leads to overload, whether reading, printing, archiving or simply mentally. Still, I always thought maybe I was missing something by not being able to subscribe to both the totality and the digests.

Hello John...

You're obviously not getting enough e-mail from this list... :)

Do you have web access? I get no e-mail from this list -- I'm in web-
only mode, which means I read and write posts directly on the
website. Sounds like that could be a great arrangement for you.

John,

Welcome back. The same thing happened to me when one of our
IT experts decided to rename our server and I couldn't even
unsubcribe under the old server name. Thankfully Mark
Nowitsky removed my old subscription for me. When there's
already so much traffic the last thing you want is to have
it doubled and not be able do anything about it.

Greg S

I should apologise for my message --- it has been a very stressful
time here(*), and after a long day in Birmingham I was just horrified at
the 600 new messages i had. The truth is, and I have not had time to
write to Mark Nowitsky, is that he unsubscribed the 'rogue' name when
he was confident that it was working; it just coincided with a mail
storm and external stuff. Apologies to Mark, and thank so much for
sorting this out. All I need now is to be able to make some sensible
remarks.

How about a British Microtuning Conference and Concert Show? We could
do it in Bath, or Oxford or elsewhere; we need to ask a number of
questions like size, finance etc. Any thoughts?

(*) Anyone know anyone who want to employ an aging mathematical
computer phreak, with strange tastes in music? Worked 30 years as an
academic and little else? Thought not.

Absolutely splendid idea. I could at least contribute some 22 tet guitar pieces and I have DATs of
strangely tuned electronic works.

I could pay the minimum wage for someone to teach me C sound, foundation maths and how to make a
website work. ; - )

Best Wishes

If we are actually to make this happen we need to get a group together
(at least electronically) to see if it is plausible.
Questions:
Where (Edinburgh, oxford, bath, elsewhere?)
When
How large; how long
Concerts or Papers or both
Funding (SPNM; Arts Council; Lottery;...)
Publicity

So far a few people have expressed some interest. Is there enough
interest to move this forward?

I could make it to most locations in the UK quite easily. If people wish, I can start looking at
funding opportunities in Scotland.

Regards.
