<DIV>Greetings OutVoice list members,</DIV>
<DIV> The new list is configured and should be operating
without problem at this point. If the problems arise again on this list and
server I will establish the OutVoice group at Yahoo to handle future list
services. If that would be a preference to list members, let me know via direct
email to me,(<A href="mailto:len_r@outvoice.net">len_r@outvoice.net</A>)
not by reply to the list.. I avoided the Yahoo service for several
reasons, privacy and registration issues being the main ones. However, your
privacy can be protected there as well. And you could post photos and I can add
a calendar for your dates. So if you feel the Yahoo approach is a good one,
again email me and I will start that project. The major benefit to Yahoo Group
service is that email sending limits would not be an issue as I understand the
system. If we decide to go with Yahoo groups I will manually add all list
members. All you will need to do here or at Yahoo would be edit your
preferences.</DIV>
<DIV> The list problems in the past were related to bounce
issues and server limits on mail sends. As all servers now have established
limits on sending email due to spam regulations, this may still be an issue. The
current server has a cap of 200 emails per hour. So each time a post is sent we
will fill that for that hour. For that reason I request: </DIV>
<DIV>That you post once and not post duplicate information on the same
day.</DIV>
<DIV>That the <A href="mailto:outvoice@outvoice.net">outvoice@outvoice.net</A>
email address be in the "to" field. Place CC in the CC field.</DIV>
<DIV>That you respond to individuals when appropriate rather than via the
list.</DIV>
<DIV>With regard to bounce issues. I have been adding AOL members back into the
list manually for that last few months. I cannot guarantee that process in the
future. So if you use an AOL address please be aware there probably will be
issues. AOL bounces your posts and this creates an account closure for the list
member. Manual management of this is very time consuming and tedious. I would
suggest that you consider an optional email provider for list purposes. Hotmail
and Yahoo are both free and should not create the same issues.</DIV>
<DIV> To those who have been patient and or sent in your
questions and support many thanks. You are deeply appreciated. However, some
have been down right rude, hateful and inconsiderate. My reaction to that
approach in the future will be a permanent ban from the list. I do this to
support community, not to be bashed by inconsiderate persons with bad attitudes.
I am not going to play the sympathy card here. Much has gone on in my life and
business lately. Some of which was an influence in the problems. Such as server
down time and complete loss of information. The personal side has been equally
challenging over the last seven months. So again, thanks to those who have shown
some support, patience and compassion over this time period. My apologies
on the problems with the list. Please know that I will do whatever it takes to
make the list functional and active. So please feel free to email at this
address or <A href="mailto:len_r@outvoice.net">len_r@outvoice.net</A> with your
feedback and or suggestions. </DIV>
<DIV> I will be announcing a new feature for OutVoice
artists and SWS promo members next week. This will be an exciting addition to
the current services offered. We are no longer affiliated with Live365 for radio
programming. Future programs and monthly chart shows will be available at <A
href="http://www.rainbowworldradio.com">www.rainbowworldradio.com</A>. We will
at this time be streaming the broadcasts. I am looking at various live
alternatives. However, the streams at <A
href="http://www.rainbowworldradio.com">www.rainbowworldradio.com</A> will
be more time/listener friendly with a broader available listen time. We
will continue the Pot Of Gold promotion on the new Rainbow World Radio website
as well. As most interviews were pre-recorded there will be little difference as
far as the listening experience. You will not have to deal with Live365
advertising or log out/block issues.</DIV>
<DIV>All my best,</DIV>
