*List-serves, Links and Unsubscribe ...*
Please forward to a friend! More info here www.cinst.org

SUMMARY of NEWS list-serves: These are all fully moderated (announce only,
low volume, hi-security) lists. You can subscribe or unsubscribe at these
links or just email me (reply to this message) to subscribe or unsubscribe
for any.

     GENERAL MUSIC EMAIL LIST:

     BLUEGRASS JAM AND NEWS:

     OUTDOOR EXERCISE: HIKE, MT BIKE, XC-SKI
http://icycle.org/mailman/listinfo/bikeski_icycle.org

DIGEST MODE -- Disabled for all of my lists. Here is why: The mailman
digest mode is really only useful on busier list-serves. Since I usually
only send one message per day maximum (sometimes only one per week!), it
will not change your email volume as the digest is also one message per
day. The non-digest version is easier to read because it includes HTML
formatting and the wider screen of text.

See you on the dance floor,
Mike :-)
