| MontyPython.net Newsletter |
|
Join the MontyPython.net Newsletter. Whenever anything important happens in the world of Monty Python I'll be sending out a short (shorter than 'War and Peace') note detailing the most recent site updates, the current 'Wav of the Week' files and the latest Python news. What's the cost? Nothing? This 7 million dollar value (actual value=zero) can be yours absolutely free, but hurry, supplies are limited. (not really) What's the catch? Nothing! (nothing I'm prepared to admit that is.) Be the first on your block to subscribe (your neighbors will be so jealous). I'll never ever sell your e-mail address (unless somebody offers me enough to retire) and you'll never ever get any spam (Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!) except for a few succulent slabs of actual Spam®© (dripping with jellied goodness) that will arrive on your doorstep every month. Mangia!

 How Do I Subscribe? |
| Simple. Just type your email address into the box above, make sure the 'Messages for you sir!' button is checked and then click on 'Send' It's so easy even the people you know that are too dumb to be Python fans could handle it. Just be careful to enter your EXACT email address. Don't add your name, your favorite color or the airpseed velocity of an unladen swallow. A simple [email protected] is all that's needed. |
| What Happens Next? |
| Right after you hit 'Send' you'll receive a confirmation letter telling you that the subscription process has started. That letter will contain a link that you MUST follow in order to activate your subscription. This protects everyone from spam mail and makes it impossible to add somebody to the list without their consent. Once you follow the link enclosed in the confirmation letter you're officially subscribed to the MontyPython.net Newsletter. Congratulations on having such excellent taste. |
| If You Don't Get a Confirmation Letter... |
| Don't Panic! Sometimes mail is slow. Give it 24 hours to have a chance for the servers to get the job done. If you don't get it after 24 hours simply come back and sign up again. The odds are that if you didn't get it you just made a typo when entering your email address. It happens all the time. Also make sure that your spam filter (if you use one) is set up to receive email from the montypython.net domain. Many people use filters to block mail from people they don't know. That's good, but don't get careless about it. If you block out this domain you won't get either the confirmation notice or the newsletter itself. That would be such a senseless tragedy. |
| When Does the Newsletter Come? |
| Every week, unless there's an 'R' in the month, or unless the moons of Jupiter are in perfect alignment or unless there's a moth fluttering around my computer bothering me when I try to write it or.... well, it's not quite that simple. The easy answer is that you'll get a newsletter whenever there is Monty Python news to report. Sometimes you'll get one every week and sometimes it might be 2 or 3 weeks between issues. I'm not going to waste your time (and my time) by sending out a newsletter when there's nothing to say. But whenever anything important happens I'll be sure to send out a mailing to let you know about it. |
| What is 'Anything Important'? |
| Gee, you sure ask a lot of questions. I consider things like public appearances, TV special, book and album releases, etc, to be important. So, whenever I get news about the reunion, or John hosting a PBS special, or Eric appearing on an American sit-com or Michael releasing a new novel, I'll usually send out a newsletter to let you know about it. However, if some small local TV station is re-running 'Life of Brian' for their local audience of 17 loyal viewers, that's not important and won't get covered. |
| Is This Only American News? |
| No. No. No. No. No. Well, a bit. I'll be honest, I live in the United States, so on things like TV appearances it's far easier for me to keep on top of events in the U.S. However, I get frequent Australian news updates from Bruce, our correspondent down under and plenty of news updates from folks in Europe, Canada, Asia and South America. So, no matter where you live you're bound to get some news of interest to you. |
| How Much Does This Cost? |
| Would you believe it's free? Isn't the internet great? Yep, this service is so valuable that even Bill Gates and the Sultan of Brunei would not be able to afford it, but it's yours free. Why? Simply because you had the good fortune to visit MontyPython.net! |
| I Changed My Email Address, Can I Still Get The Newsletter? |
| Sure. Merely come back here (you did remember to bookmark this site, didn't you?) and subscribe your new address. It's just that simple! Got an address at home and one at school or work? Subscribe them both, go ahead, I won't tell anyone about it. Please don't mail me asking me to do it personally. Adding names to the list is automated, not done by hand. With over 5000+ list members I just don't have the time to do it personally. |
| Where Are The Back Issues? |
| I've had a surprisingly large number of requests to publish the back issues of the newsletter. However, due to the nature of a newsletter it just doesn't make sense to me to publish old issues. Since the vast majority of the news focuses on such a narrow time frame it would just confuse some people (not you of course, you're too smart for that) to have an old issue posted with news like 'John Cleese will appear Tuesday night in...' when the Tuesday night in question was in June 1999. |
| I Heard Some News, Want To Know What It Was? |
| Yes, as a matter of fact I do want to know. I spend a lot of time gathering bits of news, but I do miss some of it, particularly things that happen outside the United States. So, if you hear a bit of news about the Pythons please feel free to pass it along to me. If I use it in the newsletter you'll get your name in lights (well, not lights, just an ordinary typeface) as the person who let me know. You'll also be doing your part to help keep your fellow Python fans informed about what's happening and in return, they'll be doing th same for you. It's just like one big happy Pythonic family, except we won't need to fight over who gets to use the bathroom first in the morning. Just send any newsbits you hear to . |
