Conference mr1pst::music

    
    Proposal:
    
    The recent "bashing" topics have prompted me to consider establishing
    some sort of guideline as to what forum these types of replies should 
    appear.  There are always differences of opinion on any subject. IMO 
    both views have equal validity and should be allowed to be posted.
    
    What is your position on separate and different topics for fans and
    critics of any particular artist or band?  Do you feel that one all
    encompassing topic, ie; The Official BASHING Topic, would be suffcient?
    Or, should we have a "***** is Great" and "***** Stinks" topics.
                                         
    Please post your replies in Note 25.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Tim / MUSIC Mod

    I think there are actually (at least) three possibilities are (using
    the Sting topic as an example):
    
    1) Allow bashing in "Sting" main topic
    
    2) Require bashing to be done in separate Sting bashing topic
    
    3) Require all bashing to be done in one generic "bashing" topic
    
    I favor (2)

    Historically, the moderators of this and other conferences have taken
    some abuse for not allowing the posting of copyrighted material (which
    constitutes a copyright infringement).
    
    I wanted to mention that CompuServe has been allowing people to post
    copyrighted material for awhile (which I always found surprising)
    and they are now being sued for copyright violation.  In response
    to the suit, Compuserve no longer allows posting of copyrighted
    material.

    Historically, the moderators have been light handed in their actions
    within MUSIC...  don't want to stiffle the artisits. 8)  Of the many
    conferences I read and/or moderate, MUSIC is a refreshing change.
    
    Thanks all!
    
    Tim

    Well folks, the shoe has dropped.  My last day at Digital will be 
    Tuesday, May 24th.
    
    I'd like to take this opportunity to say that I have thoroughly
    enjoyed the dialog, information and opinion sharing in MUSIC.
    Through the hectic days of the past couple of years MUSIC and
    the people who read and write to it have offered me a retreat.
            
    I leave moderating the conference to db and Brian Markey, and if
    luck has it they won't kill each other. 8)  And special thanks to
    Mr Meany for hosting this conference.
    
    Thanks and regards to the general MUSIC public!
    
    Sincerely,
    
    Tim Theo 

    Good luck Tim, wherever life takes you. As I tell people, "there is
    life after Digital". I hope our paths cross from time to time.
    
    I appreciate you stepping up to the plate and moderating the conference
    when my time was done... and from all accounts, you did a great job!
    
    However, I certainly would not count on me as a moderator for this
    conference... I'm a contractor and I could be out of here on very short
    notice. I hope someone is willing to step forward like you did back in
    '92.
    
    Brian
    
    P.S. Dave and I are just trying to breathe a little life into the
         party... we could be dissin' each other one minute and kissin'
         each other (well, almost) the next. :-)

    Yes, Good luck to you Tim and many thanks.
    
    Brian and I promise not to kill each other.  We enjoy knocking heads
    and its done without any animosity, although I've come to accept that
    people are prone to see it that way and that unfortunately there's no
    much I can do about that.   I'd like to think that Brian and I
    demonstrate that you can disagree with someone without harboring any
    anger towards them.

    The thanks go to you, Tim. Good luck.

    Thanks Tim for a job well done. Best wishes.

    Good luck Tim! 
    Not to worry either since we all know you'll do just fine!
    
    	Rock on Tim!

    I seem to be back in the position of moderator only by virtue of
    all the other moderators having left the company (Brian is now a 
    contractor).  However, I've never volunteered and am not interested
    in taking any responsibility for this conference.
    
    I am going to respond with the "Please find another home" option.
    
    However, if there are any souls out there willing to offer their
    services as moderator or a "home" for the file, let me know.

Subj:	*IMPORTANT* Regarding MR4SRV::MUSIC Notes Conference


As you are no doubt aware, MRO4 is closing in mid-October.  As all 
occupants are moving to new buildings and systems, the MR4SRV cluster
will be shutdown permanently once everyone has moved out of the building.

All data currently located on MR4SRV must be relocated to other systems
or it will be lost when MR4SRV is shut down.

You are currently listed as the moderator for the MR4SRV Notes Conference 
listed in this message's subject line.  Please respond to this message
as quickly as possible and let us know if you would like us to:

	- move this conference to another node of your choosing
	- have us find a new system for this conference

We apologize for the short notice, but the decision to close MRO4 was made
only recently.  Thank you for your help and quick response,

CNS/MRO Service Delivery

    
    
    
    	Mr Moderator, could you please tell me where the Zappa note
        file has moved to...
    
        thanks

    It should be noted that at this point, MUSIC is effectively 
    un-moderated.  Brian's contract at Digital has expired and he's
    gone.
    
    There are several other people with moderator privs, but to the best
    of my knowledge there are no official moderators.
    
    If anyone has the ability to host/moderate this conference let me know.
    
    	Dave Blickstein
    	Pro tem moderator

    
    	I can moderate, if need be, but there's no way I could host.
    	I tried that once and it didn't work too well.  Maybe I should
    	have asked the system manager before I created ANT::HEAVY_METAL.
    
    	8^)
    

I also could moderate if needed, but can't host.  If you really need
a new host, you might want to check with Jeff KDX200::Cooper, as he
seems to be putting together a notes empire nowadays. :-)

    I could also moderate, but am not sure about hosting.

    Consider it a done deal...  I snarfed a copy (it was world readable,
    so I stole it.  :-)
    
    db made me a mod, so I'll post a note pointing to the new location
    and set the old copy nowrite.
