Hello And Welcome To Once And Again Central!

This is the place for information about Once And Again, its world-wide mailing list, its chat room and the online Once And Again community!

Therefore, bookmark this page!  It will come in handy later, trust me.

 
 

 Hi!


Welcome

This is the home page for the Once And Again mailing list!  Yup, this is a page that is very much in its infancy, but we will see how it develops along witht the Once And Again community on the net.  Welcome, and I'm very glad that you found us. 

Once And Again will debut on the ABC network in the Fall of 1999.  The early buzz comes because it is a creation of that same team that brought us thirtysomething, Relativity, and the much-beloved show My So-Called Life.

I hope you have a great time on the list.  If you love Once And Again, you have found its online home.  Come and join us!

Sincerely,
Alfredo Jacobo Perez Gomez

 

 
 
 
 

Mailing List Functions

Mailing List Commands

All commands to the mailing list are sent through email, by you, to the robot which obeys those commands.  There are several commands which the robot knows how to obey - commands  to add you to the list,  to delete you from the list,  to pause the delivery of list mail to you, how to resume, and so on. 

All commands are sent in the body of the email message.  If you put your command in the subject line, it will be ignored. 

All you have to do is email the command to the robot.  I have pre-prepared some clickable emailing links below.  Just copy the appropriate text into the body of the email, hit send, and you're done!

Going On Vacation?

Then you will want to ask the robot to stop  sending you email from the list, until you come back from vacation.  This is called "putting yourself on postpone mode".  Otherwise, your mailbox will continue to receive emails from the list, and it will eventually get very full and possibly cause serious problems for your internet service provider.

Common Problems

  • You did not send your command to the correct address.  You send all commands to robot@dreamworld.org.  Please check that this is the address to which you sent your command.  Please double-check.  Please triple-check, letter by letter if necessary.  This is a very common error.  If I had a dollar . . .

    •  
  • You did not send your article  to the correct address.  You send all articles  to oaa@dreamworld.org.  If I had a dollar . . .  : )

    •  
  • The commands that you sent was formatted improperly:  it was misspelled, or was missing one word, or had too many spaces, or too few spaces.  You can always cut and paste the appropriate command from the text above onto the body of the command email you send to the robot, just to make sure everything has the correct syntax.

    •  
  • You put the command in the subject line.  The robot will ignore that.  Please put the command in the body of the email.  The body is the part where you usually type your message.  You know, Hi Bob, how are the wife and kids?  Where you usually write that sort of thing - that's the body of the message.
 

Once And Again Chat Room

Yes!  We have a chat room!  This is where you can have live, online group meetings with other Once And Again lovers.  We have not really decided on a date and time, but we do have our own private IRC server just for us!  Keep an eye peeled in the mailing list for information about the weekly chats.
