The 'Taos Hum' is a low-pitched sound heard in
numerous places worldwide, especially in the USA, UK, and northern europe.
It is usually heard only in quiet environments, and is often described as
sounding like a distant diesel engine. Since it has proven indetectable
by microphones or VLF antennae, its source and nature is still a mystery.

Meaning, no flamewars, no namecalling, no insults. Do not use taoshum-L to reply to insults, use private email. The list moderator is intolerant of violators, and they will be immediately unsubscribed. Please stay very aware that the low information content in email can lead us to read between the lines and hear insults where none were intended. So, think twice (or more!) before replying to apparent attack. If in doubt, ask the author to clarify, or simply take the fight to private email. 2. Outsiders and new subscribers may not post advertizements on this list. Regular users of taoshum-L may post ads if they are somewhat on-topic. If in doubt, ask the group. 3. Small postings only. The limit is currently set to 40K. Some users have mailbox limits, others must pay by the K for received messages. Do not attempt to circumvent the 40K boundary by splitting up files into separate messages. Large files can be mailed directly to interested individuals. If you would like to post something on this web page, mail me at billb@eskimo.com for more info. ********************************************************************* Taoshum-L digest mode: If you prefer "digest" mode messages, collections of messages of 40K max size sent every 2 days or less, then subscribe to the taoshum-digest instead of to taoshum-L. Send a blank message to: taoshum-digest-request@eskimo.com Put the single word "subscribe" in the subject line of the header. If you are already subscribed to taoshum-L, you may unsubscribe from it once you begin receiving digests. (Taoshum-L and taoshum-digest are two separate lists. It is possible to subscribe to one or the other, or both.) ********************************************************************* Address Changes: If your email address changes, you can email billb@eskimo.com to fix things. Or, you can simply send a "subscribe" command while using your new account. When your old account is turned off, the taoshum-L bounce detector will unsubscribe it. If you still have access to the older account address, you can unsubscribe yourself using that address. ************************************************************************* WARNING: Taoshum-L software contains a mechanism which might automatically unsubscribe you. This will happen if your email address starts bouncing all taoshum-L email for several days. This is done in order to stop possible email-loops, and to prevent the eskimo.com software from being overwhelmed by email-bounce warning messages. When the Unsubscriber takes you off, it sends you a message explaining its action. Unfortunately this message will usually bounce also. From your viewpoint the message traffic from taoshum-L will suddenly cease. If the email server on your internet service has a habit of overloading or crashing for several days at at time, you will probably encounter the Unsubscriber. If taoshum-L traffic seems to suddenly stop, or if your messages to the group are returned with warnings that you are not subscribed, simply resubscribe to taoshum-L.
