Welcome to Moonlighting!
Welcome to "Moonlighting-L," the discussion list for the zany romance/detective comedy of the late 1980's that starred Cybill Shepherd as model turned detective, Maddie Hayes, and Bruce Willis as David Addison, her partner in crime.
Please direct your inquiries regarding this list to the list owners: Diane M. DeMelo (addisonhayes@comcast.net) or Brian C. Madsen (BCMadsen@earthlink.net).
"Moonlighting-L," exists as a free-form list for the discussion of the ABC comedy that aired from 1985 to 1989 and starred Cybill Shepherd, Bruce Willis, Allyce Beasley and Curtis Armstrong. This list has been designed as a forum for the fans of the show to meet and to share their opinions, insights and knowledge of this show and its cast. The mail distributed through this list can be received individually or in "digest" form. The digests are text file compilations of the postings. Each digest is distributed weekly or when it reaches a 1000 line size limit. Specific instructions on subscribing to and unsubscribing from "Moonlighting-L" can be found below.
"Moonlighting" has been released on DVD and currently only Season 1 & 2 and Season 3 are available for purchase via Amazon.com.
We are very happy to have you as part of our group! We hope that you are able to post and contribute to great discussions. If you do decide to continue and join in on the fun there are some simple guidelines that are considered appropriate. These include:
| Suggested topics Banned topics Attachments Disabling Formatted Text |
Language Flaming Replying Background , Links & FAQ |
Subscribing & Unsubscribing About the Members Acronyms Off-topic posting |
SUGGESTED TOPICS:
Comments, opinions, questions and other information about "Moonlighting" including its cast and production crew, story lines and scheduling, as well as any other work done by cast and crew as that work may be related to "Moonlighting".
BANNED TOPICS:
Please do not use this list to solicit or provide information on how to personally contact members of the cast in any manner other than through approved channels. The telephone numbers and addresses of networks, production companies, talent agents and fan clubs are acceptable topics of discussion. The telephone numbers and addresses of the cast or crew are not to be discussed or exchanged within this list. Violation of this guideline will not be tolerated and will result in expulsion from this list.
ATTACHMENTS:
Please do not post messages with "attached" files to this mailing list. These coded files waste a lot of space on mail servers, in the digest version of the list and they can not be deciphered by most mail clients.
DISABLING Text Formatting:
Please do not send or reply to messages using formatted text. Doing so wastes bandwidth, wastes server space and pads the digest version of this list with random text. Besides, not all of the subscribers to this list use email clients that can take advantage of this feature.
Consult your email client's "Help" menu to learn how to disable text formatting.
OFF-TOPIC POSTING:
This list is for "Moonlighting" related conversation. Please try not to post off-topic. However, if there is an "off-topic" subject that you feel you MUST share with the other members of this group, please begin the subject line of your email with the string "OFF TOPIC:". This permits busy members to skip past "off-topic" postings.
LANGUAGE:
Because we consider ourselves a mature group and we do not wish to offend either contributing or lurking members of the list, profanity should be kept to a minimum. A good rule of thumb would be that if you haven't heard "that word or phrase" used on "Moonlighting", then it is probably inappropriate to use it here.
FLAMING:
In general, this is a friendly, supportive and cooperative group. All comments and opinions are welcome. If you disagree, disagree without being disagreeable. If someone disagrees with you, do not take it personally. Flaming is not necessary and will not be tolerated. If a member of this list becomes offensive, misuses the list or fails to follow rules of "Netiquette" within the list, report it to Diane DeMelo or Brian C. Madsen.
REPLYING:
Do you quote the original message when "replying" to a post? Save space and make your reply clearer. Please cut the header information, signature file, and irrelevant parts of the original message from your reply. For example, do not begin or end your message by quoting an entire long post, when your reply consists of only a couple lines or words such as "me too" or "I agree." Your ideas are less likely to be seen if the reader has to scroll through dozens of lines of quoted material to find them.
It is also STRONGLY SUGGESTED that you read all your unread mail before replying to a particular message. You may find that a question has already been answered. This helps to eliminate the posting of several similar answers to the same question.
