To Subscribe to the list, you simply issue commands to the automated ListServer as follows below.

If in doubt what to do, Email and ask.

Helpful Hint

To keep track of all the mailing lists you may subscribe to, in an orderly fashion, we recommend that you maintain several E-Mail accounts. These can be obtained free from various places such as Hotmail.com, theatreorgans.com and vintagehammond.com. We then suggest you sign up one name to one list. For example, if you subscribe to the Hammond List, the PipeChat-L list and the Hammond-L list, it may be helpful to have 4 email accounts. The first, is your regular EMAIL account, which you don't want polluted with posts from anywhere. Just private email, so when you log on you have your email there.

Then maintain 3 additional separate email accounts. Subscribe to each list under a different account. To really be spiffy, get an email program like CALYPSO that allows you to read all of your pop3 type email in one program, sorted by folders.

The Rules of Conduct

1. Introduce yourself. It's a great way to make friends

2. Use of appropriate humor is ALWAYS encouraged.

3. Be polite to the other people on the list. Just because you may not share the same view point with someone else doesn't mean you need to start a war.

4. Being open minded is the key to getting along with others.

5. Keep things on topic. If you wander off the topic of the list, please keep it interesting & humorous at the very least. It may keep you from getting flamed.

6. If you have a problem with another list member, don't take action yourself. Let the mean and grumpy list administrators take care of it. Do not flame her members via the list. This list is for friendly folks not old grumps. Only the list administrators are allowed to be crotchety.

7. When replying to a previous post, please delete what is not important to what you are saying as best you can. In other words, quote only what is relevant to what your post is about.

8. Private parties may mention instruments for sale by using the list as a means of advertising... Although there are more appropriate places to do that such as the Theatre Organ Classifieds. All we ask is that extensive transactions between two (or more)individuals remain private.

9. Do post about concerts and other important events. Just keep them brief and to the point. Do post all about your Hammond(s) and any hints and kinks you have ran into in the past.

10. Any Problems with the servers will be fixed as soon as we know what the problem is (and how to fix it). Just be patient if such a problem occurs.

11. Last But NOT least, HAVE FUN and share your organic experiences. That's what the list was created for.

12. This list will not be moderated and you may feel free to get off the topic a bit without chastisement. After all we are humans and we enjoy more things in life than Hammond Organs, altho A good Hammond/Leslie Combo is pretty much heaven on earth. The point is that this list will not be over-controlled like most lists. But be good children and play nice.

13. It is perfectly ok to post Job openings for Hammond organists on this list.
