Re: *** News from WBMUTBB HQ: Emergency Moderation over ***
Hey folks, I'm leaving Friday to go on the Mayberry Cruise so I'm turning off the Emergency Moderation. In other words, messages will be posted without review (there is a small set that are moderated because of past behavior) so I ask that you continue to behave well and keep ALL POLITICAL discussion OFF the WBMUTBB Digest. I will likely be able to check my mail until Saturday morning but then I'll be off the air until the cruise is over on Thursday of next week. PLEASE follow the rules and, as Andy would say, "Act like somebody." The Digest has been fun to read for the last several days so lets try to keep it that way. As a note, those on the "moderate" list will not be able to post a message until I return. Sorry about that to those few it hits. PODCAST: Thanks to those of you who have enjoyed and written to me about the Two Chairs No Waiting Podcast. Even while I'm gone...the podcast will continue and to help you keep from missing one I have set it up so you can subscribe by e-mail to be told when they come out. (http://mayberry.com/podcasts) Just visit the site and sign up. One last thing, if you have suggestions about the podcast (things you'd like to hear comments on, ideas for making it better, etc) I would love to hear them. E-mail me directly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and I'll see what can be done. I want the podcast to be fun for you and I have a hard time knowing when it is fun and when I'm just talking abouterr..me or something. :) Take care folks!! See you soon. --Allan Newsome "The Andy Griffith Show" Rerun Watchers Club - Webmaster http://www.mayberry.com/ ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
*** News from WBMUTBB HQ: Emergency Moderation in Effect ***
Hey folks, I will be *manually* moderating all messages to the Digest for a while in order to stop the talk about politics. As I said, this is our little corner of Mayberry and I do not want to see it be brought into the "real" world with discussion of all that's going on in the election. I can not edit the politics out of the messages so I will be discarding (deleting) them or rejecting (sending them back to the sender) if there is political commentary contained in them. This also goes for expressing disappointment in Andy and/or Ron because of their political beliefs. I understand that many do not agree with them and I am saddened to see "Opie" and "Andy Taylor" being used for politics. BUT I was glad to see them together and I'm big enough to ignore things I don't like while enjoying what I do. Please, lets all agree that our little corner of Mayberry is NOT the place for this discussion and if you don't agreeI'll be acting as "Andy" and preventing your submission to the WBMUTBB Digest from making it to everyone else. Mayberry, and the spirit found there, is alive and with your help we can keep it growing stronger and stronger right here in our little corner. --Allan Newsome "The Andy Griffith Show" Rerun Watchers Club - Webmaster http://www.mayberry.com/ ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

***News from WBMUTBB HQ: Hey Folks.......***
Hey everybody, Well, it looks like things are doing okay here in Mayberry but lets wait a few days or a week before we say everything is okay. I don't have any idea what happened to Digest issues #132 and 133 so the last issue before #134 was 131 back on May 12th. Some how we skipped two issues but lets hope we don't miss anymore for a LONG time. Keep your fingers crossed and do the incant for the jinx. --Allan ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
*** News from WBMUTBB HQ: Mayberry in Men's Health Mag ***
I want to thank Darrel & Debbie Miles from http://MayberryOnMain.com for passing along the following: _ I wanted everyone to know that Russell is in the May 2007 issue of Men's Health that has just hit the news stands. It is a great picture of him and his great grandson and good article. We remember the magazine people coming, this winter (IT WAS BIG) and they were over at the barber shop all day taking pictures. I think all the fans would enjoy seeing him and could bring the article to Mayberry Days for him to autograph. _ ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

*** News from WBMUTBB HQ ***
Hey folks, As you likely noticed, there was a problem with the Digest on Saturday 21 Oct. The computer we're hosted on went down and the hard drive failed. That meant they had to replace the hard drive and then restore the data. When that happened, it reset everything to the last saved set of data which means we lost all of Saturday and some of Friday. That's why the Digests are numbered in "repeat numbers" starting at 304 again for Sunday and Monday's will be #305 again. Sorry for the problems but since I'm gone on the Mayberry Cruise...you can bet if it can go wrong..it will. haha. Mayberry.com was down all day on Saturday as well. Hopefully things are fixed and will be okay while I'm "out to sea" with Howard Sprague. :) --Allan Newsome "The Andy Griffith Show" Rerun Watchers Club - Webmaster http://www.mayberry.com/ ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
