CandiChat Mailing List

(Download CandiChat information in one file to read offline.)

CandiChat is an e-mail list for people interested in Candi Girl dolls. I hope it will be a friendly place on the net. BTW, here are a few pictures from our first Candi swap.

CandiChat is maintained by Anja Drewitz.

CandiChat is unmoderated. This means that mails will be forwarded to list subscribers "as is", without any censorship or filtering. However, individuals who cause flame wars or other severe disturbances and continue to do so even after being warned will be unsubscribed.

CandiChat list rules

Before you subscribe to CandiChat, please read this page to the end. If you do not agree with the list rules, don't subscribe.

Follow this link to find out how to subscribe.

Topics

• Any Candi news and discussions, e.g. Candi dolls, Candi-sized fashions and accessories, Candi "who's who", what's a Candi Girl to wear, ...
• Creative projects with Candi, e.g. displaying, sewing, hairstyling, repainting, rerooting, ...
• Posts concerning other dolls are welcome, too, provided they don't take over and transform the list into, e.g., "B*rbieChat".
• As Candi collecting requires Candi shopping, posts about items for sale / trade / wanted to buy can provide useful information. However, please do not overdo it.
  Please note the comments below about selling via the list.
• Remember that others will judge upon you from what you write. Treat others as you would like to be treated. No flaming on this list!
• Chain letters and pyramid schemes of any sort are not only unwanted in this list but even illegal in many countries.

List address

What to send to CandiChat list

• All contributions should be in English language.
• CandiChat is a text-only list. Please do not use MIME or HTML mail, only plain text. Also, please do not send attachments or binary files (pictures) to the list. If you have any technical questions about this, e-mail Anja Drewitz.
• If you have pictures you want to show to list members, you have the following possibilities:
  • either post a note offering to e-mail them to interested people upon request
  • or upload the pictures somewhere (e.g. your web site) and post a note where people can find them. If you have no web site of your own, contact me and we will find a place to upload your pictures.

Comments on FS / WTB posts:

• Indicate in the subject what your mail is about. "FS" means "for sale", "WTB" means "wanted to buy", and "WTT" accordingly means "wanted to trade". E.g., you could write "FS: Retro Candi" if you want to sell a Retro Candi Girl. Advantages for readers are obvious: Those who do not feel like shopping can skip FS posts, while those longing for new dolls will probably read a FS post immediately.
• If you have several items to sell, do not send an extra mail for each item. Instead, send only one mail listing all of them. In case the list would be long:
• Do not mail long "for sale" lists as a whole. Say that you have a list available and will e-mail it to everyone who requests it. Or, point people to your web site's URL where they can read it.
• "For sale" mails about non-doll related items, like cars, e.g., are unwanted.

Netiquette

• Please tell who you are. It is confusing to see five different people using the same pseudonym "Candi". It is also confusing when there are five people named "Ann" and they all sign with their first name only.
• It is often helpful to quote from the mail you are replying to. However, please do not quote the whole mail. Everyone else has received this mail, too, and does not need a duplicate. Quote only those sentences that are necessary to indicate the points you are responding to.
• Please do not use extensive signatures. You will hardly ever need more than 4 lines for it.
• Make use of the "subject" line. Expressive subjects help readers to follow a discussion. Using "Candi" as the subject does not help anyone. Also, when a discussion has moved away from the original topic and you want to mail a comment on the new topic, choose a new subject.
  Example: The original subject was "What is a baggy Candi?". Meanwhile, the discussion is about a possible new face mold. Then it is only fair to share the interesting news by changing the subject to "New face mold? (was: What is a baggy Candi?)".
