JSEB NEWSLETTER
March 23, 2002
==================
IMPORTANT
CHANGES
==================
I am pleased to announce
that I (Annie) will be merging the JSEB Newsletter and the SSS lists.
Specifically, the SSS
list will be eliminated. All SSS members will be automatically subscribed to
the JSEB list. There are many benefits to this. First, if you were only on the
JSEB list, you will now get news more regularly, including late breaking announcements
(which are much more common that you might imagine). Second, the JSEB newsletter
will be shorter since the news portion will be cut. Third, if you are on both
lists, you will now eliminate unnecessary duplication.
I understand that there
will be some resistance to this whole idea. If there is anyone who wishes to
unsubscribe, full instructions on how to do so are at the end of this e-mail.
The following is a list of anticipated questions:
Q: I'm on the SSS list.
If I'm forced to join the JSEB Newsletter, doesn't that make me a member of
the Jon Stewart Estrogen Brigade?
A: Yes. But you are
as anonymous as you wish to be on this group, and it's not like we keep an official
roll. We tried that once, and it didn't work. You can hide as much info as you'd
like, even from me. Your e-mail is viewable only by myself and a few members
of the executive branch who are moderators.
Q: But I'm a guy and/or
I'm not attracted to Jon Stewart like that!
A: There are changes
in the works that will remove the estrogen title from this fan club. The JSEB
will still exist as a subclub within the new club. The new club is tentatively
set to open May 1.
Q: WHAT?!
A: There are changes
in the works that will remove the estrogen title from this fan club. The JSEB
will still exist as a sub-club within the new club. The new club is tentatively
set to open May 1.
Q: WHAT?!
A: Okay, here's the
thing. A lot of guys and gals would like to hang out in a JS group but don't
want to be "estrogeny" and a lot of gals would like to talk a lot more in detail
about Jon in ways that we haven't traditionally allowed. This new club will
give you the best of both worlds. It will be a unisex fan club and there will
be a special "ladies only" JSEB section for you gals who are hot for Jon.
Q: I'm on the JSEB
or SSS list. Won't I get a whole lot more e-mails?
A: If you're on the
SSS list, no, you'll just get an extra newsletter every two weeks to a month.
If you're on the JSEB list and have chosen the e-mail option (the default),
you will get more, definitely. But the extra e-mails are shorter, to the point,
and always contain important Jon information. Now you won't miss those last-minute
additions. For example, if you were on the JSEB Newsletter and not on the SSS
list or the Arena, you likely missed Jon on Larry King yesterday (or today,
if you're still up). Now, if you happen to hate my writing and can't stand the
thought of having to read it more frequently, then you can unsubscribe. (See
end of e-mail.)
Q: What do you mean,
the e-mail option?
A: It is a little known
fact that you do not have to receive this newsletter or any newsletter directly
in your inbox. We would prefer that you not do so, but you capable of choosing
to read the newsletter at your leisure, online only. You do have to be registered
with Yahoo to do so, I think. The link to pick delivery options is at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JSEB-Newsletter/join
Q: Tell us about this
new fan club.
A: Most of the details
about the club are still secret because they are being revamped as we speak.
We don't want to promise anything we can't deliver, but we can promise that
there will a new look, new sections, and more interactivity. If there's anything
you'd like to see more of, shoot an e-mail to annieJS@earthlink.net.
Q: Are you doing away
with the JSEB?
A: NO NO NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO! It will be a little more girly, a little more risqué, but definitely
alive. There will be fan fiction and possibly a message board. Any ideas would
be welcome.
Q: Are you doing away
with the SSS?
Yes. I will continue
to maintain the title as intellectual property, but the site will be merged
into the new one. An archive of the SSS will be maintained on the new site.
Some of the features, such as the sounds, news, and ambles, will be worked into
the new site.
Q: What about the Arena?
A: The Arena will stay
as it is for now. For those of you who are not on the Arena and would like to
join what has become a very active discussion list, shoot a blank e-mail to
JSEB-Arena-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
Q: When will the list
transfer take place?
A: Tonight, Saturday,
March 23. All SSS members will be unsubscribed from the SSS group and subscribed
to the JSEB group. Only fifty people can be handled per day, and there are currently
about 200 people on the SSS list, so this will take several days. You can leave
at any time by unsubscribing from the JSEB group. If you read this in time,
you can prevent the whole issue by unsubscribing from the SSS group ASAP.
Q: I have questions
that you're not answering, damn it.
A: That's not in the
form of a question. Shoot me an e-mail at annieJS@earthlink.net and I'll try
to answer.
Q: You disgust me and
I hate you with all my soul. How do I unsubscribe, thereby plunging you into
deep and unending misery?
A: Alas, you can unsubscribe
from each list by sending a blank e-mail to the following addresses (depending
on which lists you're on). Make sure you send the e-mail FROM THE ACCOUNT YOU'RE
SUBSCRIBED WITH or else Yahoo will think you're trying to unsubscribe someone
else:
JSEB Newsletter: JSEB-Newsletter-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
JSEB Arena: JSEB-Arena-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
SSS list: StewartSupremacists-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
Take care,
Annie
