>> complete than the archives currently on the OSU site.
>>
>> So now it’s time for the big announcement:
>>
>> WE WILL BE MOVING THE KINEJAPAN LIST TO THE YALE SERVER ON JUNE 1, 2018
>>
>> Since there are currently a lot of dead addresses on our list (the result

>> everything out by manually switching subscriptions. In other words:
>>
>> EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO CONTINUE ON KINEJAPAN NEEDS TO RE-SUBSCRIBE ON THE
>> YALE SERVER
>>
>> The server is active now, but in order to make a clean cut on the list
>> and with the archives, the switchover will take place on June 1. You can
>> subscribe on the Yale server now, but no posts will be allowed until June
>> 1. Continue to use this list until May 31. (I will then ask Yale IT to
>> transfer the May archive, which will complete the move.)
>>
>> HOW TO RE-SUBSCRIBE:
>>
>> First, go to:
>>
>> http://mailman.yale.edu/mailman/listinfo/kinejapan
>>
>> In the section SUBSCRIBING TO KINEJAPAN, enter your e-mail address and
>> your name. Also pick a password which will allow you to change your
>> settings later.
>>
>> Then just click “Subscribe”! It’s easy!
>>
>> Forgive me in advance, but I will be sending versions of this
>> announcement multiple times over the next few weeks to make sure people see
>> it.
>>
>> Hope this goes well!
