TAOS HUM HOMEPAGE

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.

    This forum was created for discussions of the "Taos Hum."  The subscribers
    here consist of several groups, including "hearers" who are plagued by the
    sound, researchers trying to trace its source and characteristics, and
    people fascinated by the mystery.  No charge for subscription, but
    donations towards cost of operation are accepted.  Message traffic is
    fairly low, so when you first subscribe, please introduce yourself and ask
    some questions to get a discussion going!  Also check out our web page
    (above,) it contains various articles as well as archives of previous
    months' discussions.  For more about email "list" forums, go here.

    *********************************************************************
    RULES:
    
       1. Intelligent, respectful discussion only.  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.
