What is the Nova listserv?
The Nova listserv is an email list server. People
interested in 1962-79 Novas are members. Any email message sent to
nova@engr.smu.edu gets broadcasted to all members.
What do we do?
Ask and answer technical questions. Brag about a 383, or talk about that impossible to find trim part. Decide whether stock wheels are better than customs. Is that stumbling is a vacuum problem? All years are represented. The cars vary from bone-stock trailer queens to daily drivers to all-out quarter mile racers.
How do I subscribe?
Send a plain text email message to
majordomo@engr.smu.edu with
nothing in the body besides
subscribe nova. Note: send this in plain text format. Majordomo does not understand HTML.
SUGGESTION:
Keep your inbox clean; separate your Nova mail into its own folder. Tell your email program to put all messages with [nova] in the subject into a separate folder. (If you don't know how, look up words like "filter" or "rules" in your email
program's help.)
How do I unsubscribe?
Send an email message to
majordomo@engr.smu.edu with
nothing in the body besides
unsubscribe nova.
Note: you must send this message from the email address that you subscribed.
Also note: send this request in plain text format. Majordomo does not
understand HTML.
Message size and format
You can attach up to 70KB of pictures to each message. HTML emails are
encouraged.
Yes, it's free
This list has nothing to do with any for-profit business. Subscribing costs nothing. We are just a bunch of Nova nuts who want to talk about Novas.
How many messages can I expect each day?
You should get between 40 and 200 messages
every day.
Staying on topic
An occasional non-Nova email is OK (10% maximum, please). Be courteous and put "non-[Nova]" in your subject line
if you are off-topic. This isn't the Chevelle listserv; we don't have poles
shoved up our a**es, so we aren't going to bitch about occasional off-topic
threads.
Political correctness
This list is not politically correct or "family safe".
We are a bunch of grease monkeys who like old cars. Go figure. If you are
insecure or immature, this list is not for you. I do not allow gross or explicit stuff. If you send us something like a
close up of a dead fish sticking out of a vagina, I will ban you.
Politeness
Do not make personal attacks or flame other users
over the listserv.
Virus alerts, stupid crap, etc.
NEVER send a virus alert to the listserv. NEVER send
a "breaking announcement" to the listserv. Nearly every last one of those is a
fake, and we'll just rip you a new one if you sent it.
Advertising or commercial use
You may not use this list for explicitly commercial purposes because 1. it's hosted by an educational institution and 2. we don't want your advertisement crap. If you happen to own a business and may be able to help out a listserv member, contact him privately.
Who's boss?
The moderator of this list is boss. His decisions are final and they may not necessarily be justified. If you don't like this, he has something you can bite.
