hi,

People would be well advised to seriously consider not joining
anything or following any grouply links.  On
the yahoo groups I manage (freecycle groups) I have opted them
out of any grouply functionality due to huge risks and spam.
Grouply apparently asks members for userid and password in some
situations which is a huge violation of any kind of safe internet
computing standard out there.

Here's some info...

Run, Don�t Walk, from Grouply.com

I just got an email telling me that �jonpeters,� a member of my
Yahoo Group, wants me to join something called Grouply. This
group is usually pretty conservative, so when I saw the name
�jonpeters� I knew there was some sort of spammer at work. But
what was that �Grouply� thing?

Grouply Wants Your Yahoo Password-and MUCH MORE

Grouply.com is a �service� that presents itself as an aggregation
tool for your Yahoo and Google groups. This is supposed to make
it easier to for the user to collect all the blogs and chats they
want to read in one place. However, Grouply will solicit your
Yahoo password and user name. This should be the first signal
that something is wrong. Yahoo and Google will never send you an
email asking you for your username or password. You must contact
them with this info, not the reverse. Any one who emails you a
request for your username and password almost certainly a
spammer/hacker/identity thief. This is so important that I�m
repeating it:

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, GIVE OUT YOUR YAHOO OR GOOGLE USERNAME OR
PASSWORD IN RESPONSE TO A SOLICITATION OR EMAIL. YAHOO AND GOOGLE
WILL NEVER EMAIL YOU A REQUEST FOR THIS INFO. ANYONE WHO ASKS FOR
THIS INFORMATION MUST BE TREATED WITH SUSPICION OF IDENTITY
THEFT!!


Your Grouply Account Will Invade Everyone Elses Privacy!

Grouply uses your Yahoo username and password like most viruses,
gathering all the entries in your address book and solicits them.
Once they take this info, they solicit your friends. However,
these guys go one better than Facebook or MySpace: They go into
your Yahoo and Google groups and copy EVERYTHING! No matter if
it�s a private group. Those entries you made about your lousy
boss, problem girlfriend, or how to change your bad credit
rating? No reason to keep those issues a secret anymore. Grouply
will know all about it - then they (seem to) phish your friends,
making sure they�re private group conversations are made public.
Congratulations! You�ve now destroyed half your friendships and
peeved all your relatives!!

Opt Out!!  But I Never Opted In!

At the end of the email soliciting your membership in Groupys
�phishing expedition,� you�ll offered the oportunity to opt-out.

Right.

Click on the �unsubscribe� link, and you�ll wait for several
minutes, then be taken to a website that requires you give them
your email address!! THEN you�re expected to wait several hours
for an email to be sent to your account with a separate opt-out
link.

This my friends, is bull cookies.

These days, even the worst spammer has �one-click� opt-out.
Grouply doesn�t seem to hide the fact that they make opting out
an unnessesarily uncomplicated proceedure. This makes sense when
you consider that Grouply can�t turn a profit unless it can mine
your info.

TAKE ACTION!

The way to get rid of Grouply is the same as getting rid of a
virus. If you get an mail from a friend who wants you to join
Grouply, simply transfer that friend�s contact into to Notepad
and send your friend an email pointing to this blog posting. Tell
them that you can put their contact info back into your addresses
when they fix their �Grouply problem.� Then DELETE THEIR ADDRESS
FROM GOOGLE OR YAHOO. Yes, that�s right DELETE IT.

It�s worse if the Grouply email mentions a Google or Yahoo group.
Send a note to the moderator of your group. Tell them that they
are being data mined and that they are putting the entire
membership at risk until the Grouply �infected� member is
deleted. Then UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE GROUP. As long as you stay
with the Yahoo or Google group, your membership details and
anything private you write on your groups will become public
knowledge.

And

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE OUT THAT USERNAME AND PASSWORD IN
RESPONSE TO AN EMAIL!!

Hello all

 

Last weekend was the big 20th Anniversary concert of the installation of the Robert Morton "Wonder" Organ in the Arlington Theatre, Santa Barbara, CA.  With over 1500 in attendance the concert was a huge success and quite exciting.  But there's more...

 

I was there all week working not only towards the concert and silent films, but also completing several days' worth of work (often with all night recording sessions) culminating with the mastering of a new Christmas CD on the big 4/27 Arlington organ!  The recording engineer came into the theatre on Sunday night after the crowds had left from the concert, the room cooled down a bit and outside noise has ceased.

 

Here's the playlist:

The survey deals basically with local chapters. Over here there are no
local chapters so filling out the survey is quite meaningless.

Incidentally, my copy arrived already May 15. After all, the magazine
had to travel over the big water and find its way to the remote little
country where I live. VIP treatment I guess.

To Interested Parties,

I had lunch with ATOS President Ken Double today and we discussed the
lateness of the May/June issue of The Theatre Organ.  I had received
mine about an hour before lunch.  Ken contacted a ATOS board member and
came up with the following announcement:

"Due to the late arrival of THEATRE ORGAN, the official Journal of ATOS,
we are extending two important deadline dates.  First, the deadline for
early registration for the ATOS Convention in Indianapolis is now
extended until June 1, 2008.  One can still receive the cheaper
registration fee up until June 1, 2008.  The hotel deadline remains the
same, but the registration deadline for savings is now June 1.

Second, we are also extending the deadline date for returning the ATOS
Survey which is included in The Journal.  The international deadline
date of June 10, 2008 is now the deadline date for the postmark for
returning all of the surveys.  We urge our membership to complete the
surveys and mail them immediately."

I told Ken that I would post the message on Theatreorgans-l.

Dick Willson

I had a look at the Convention website and it looks promising. I will
certainly mark my calendar.

I have some questions about Electronic carillons my Questions are:

1. Can electronic carillons do Funeral bell peals
2. Can electronic carillons do 8 and 16 bell bells?

I attended the NY convention.  I'm really interested in hearing any
opinions or reviews of the event--transportation, organization,
venues, artists.

Does anyone have any Theatre and Church organ MP3s that they can send me?

condition it is in and that it needs to be saved. It got me interested
in the pipe organ in general. It got my to learn th instrument. I am

As you may recall, Michael Fellenzer was elected to the ATOS Board
last year. Within hours of taking office he resigned. One can
reasonably draw the inference that he did so to allow the Board to
appoint another Director while he retained his vote by being appointed
Vice-President. Mr. Fellenzer is now again a candidate for election to
the ATOS Board.

I am sure that many of you find this as offensive to the principles of
an elected and representative Board of Directors as I do. While I am
certainly not going to vote for Mr. Fellenzer, I don't think that
sends a sufficiently strong message about my disapproval of his action
in placing himself on the ballot. Therefore I am going make him a
"write-out" candidate on my ballot by lining out his name. I encourage
those of you share my distaste for Mr. Fellenzer's behavior to
likewise line out his name on your ballot.

If you have already mailed your ballot, perhaps you will want to send
your write-out vote separately to:
