The Mary Black mailing lists are special e-mail address to which you can subscribe. When someone sends a message to one of these e-mail addresses everyone who is subscribed to that list, will get that message in his or her mailbox. This is a very effective way to communicatie with other Mary Black fans.

There are two different Mary Black Mailing lists:

• The Mary Black Mailing list for fans (mblack@yahoogroups.com).
• The Mary Black Mailing list for news (mblack-news@yahoogroups.com).

The first mailinglist is for fans to discusses all kinds of topics about Mary Black and her music. The second is for receiving news about concerts and new releases only. Everyone who is subscribed to the first mailing list can sent an e-mail message to that list, which will be received by everybody who is subscribed to that list. Every message sent to the second mailing list must be approved by myself (this is called a moderated list). If I approve the message it will be automatically mailed to everyone subscribed to this list.

You can subscribe to both mailing lists. But remember: if you only want news about Mary Black and do not want all kinds of discussions you should subscribe to only the news list.

To join one of the lists, simply follow the instructions in the How to subscribe? section. But first here are some general rules for these lists:

• The purpose of this list is to talk about, change information about, legally swap items related and/or discuss topics regarding Mary Black. So try to keep the contents of your messages related to Mary and her music (well, messages about related artists, like Frances Black or The Black Family etc. are no problem, as long as you keep in mind that this is a Mary Black mailinglist).
• This list is in no way directly connected to Mary Black or her record company. The members and maintainers of this list do not directly represent Mary Black.
