Like a thousand clowns jumping out of a Volkswagen beetle, Winedale emails have been popping up in my inbox. Count me as clown no. 1001 to be included on the Winedale 40th anniversary mailing list. David Sharpe

The Lost Shall Be Found -- an update on Winedale Alum Outreach and on Doc's outline for reunion
by Mike Godwin 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Dear folks, Now that the initial flood of acknowledgements has died down (sorry for flooding you with email traffic on the first day or two of this mailing list), let me update you as to where we are. First off, although we've found lots of people who participated in Doc's Shakespeare at Winedale program between 1970 and 2000, we haven't found everyone. (Some names that come to mind – Nancy Paul, Bruce Wharton, Richard South, Maria Black, Cindy Jaynes.) I'm guessing many of us here know how to contact some of these folks. So this message aims to make it easier for us to gather them in. Feel free to forward this message to S-at-W folks from those years. Details about how to add them to our list (or for them to add themselves) are included below.* Second, I've been in touch with Doc, and he says he expects to write us in a week or so with an outline of reunion plans. Please stay tuned to this list for Doc's messages, for general messages to this list, and for general planning purposes. I'm looking forward to seeing you all (I hope) this year. Third, in the next day or two, unless you tell me otherwise, I plan to switch this list's settings so that replies go directly to the person you're replying to rather than to the list generally. This should also reduce any email flood in your inboxes. Once I've done this, emails intended for the list as a whole should be sent to winedale-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org --Mike (read further for details about how to get other folks on this list) * The Details: Alums who want to add themselves to the mailing list can go to the following link -- https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/winedale-l -- and add themselves. This link allows them to choose whether they want to get email from the list as soon as someone sends it or to get mail in batch/digest form (fewer emails, but you get messages later from the list). Individuals can also subscribe to the mailing list by send email to the following address – Winedale-l-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org -- and including the word "subscribe" in the message's body or subject header. If they have trouble signing up, or want someone to sign up for them, they can ask me to do that for them, and email me directly at mnemonic(a)gmail.com and I'll respond, generally quickly. I'm also available to troubleshoot any problems anyone is having with the mailing list. It should be noted that the addresses on the mailing list can be viewed by each individual member, so that people can talk one-on-one with each other outside the list if they wish. (This is a good choice for people who want to reminisce or catch up but don't want to derail discussion on the main list.) Finally, it's probably worth mentioning that Doc (jayres(a)cvctx.com) and Stan Kern (stan(a)texashealingarts.com) and I are trying to build an ongoing contact list, and so any new email addresses should be sent to all three of us for inclusion in the contact list. --mg (mnemonic(a)gmail.com)

Change to Winedale-l mailing-list settings
by Mike Godwin 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Dear folks, As of right now, I've set the mailing list settings in a way that should reduce traffic on the list. Specifically, I've set things so that when you type Reply, you'll be sending email only to the particular person who sent the message you're responding to. To respond to the list as a whole, send mail to winedale-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org -- alternatively, you may try typing "reply all" (if your email program allows it), and that should work as well. From now on folks, when we send mail to the whole list, we're doing so intentionally (I hope). Thanks for your patience as I iron out the bugs. --Mike
