Ada Quillon’s Listeners

12 people are listed, each with their own yes. Anyone can read this list, and any client can show it. Who may write to whom is up to each person’s own page.

The charter

People who listen to Ada Quillon’s songs and would like to find each other: in their own town, at a show, or on the way to one. You are listed only with your yes, by your own page, in your own words. Ada keeps the list; she does not own it. Nobody pays to be here, nobody is ranked, and the list is never sold.

How the list is kept

  • Nobody is added without saying yes §5.1. Ada cannot list anyone who has not, and neither can Noemi.
  • People are shown in the order they said yes, or by distance from a town. Never by a score, and never by how much they bought.
  • Each entry points to a page its person keeps §3.5. Photos stay on those pages §2.5.
  • Leaving is one action, and takes effect within sixty seconds §5.3.
  • If Ada stops keeping it, Noemi is first in line, and the members choose §9.3.

Who’s near you

Who else in Tacoma said yes

Pick a town. The record is centered on it: each tangerine label is someone who said yes, nearer the middle when they live nearer. Distance is the only thing it measures, from rough town centers; which way round a label sits means nothing. The same people are listed beside it in words.

Ask the list

A plain question, answered from the file

Only people who said yes are in the file, so only they can come up §5.1. Marisol, whose request is still waiting, is not in it. Answers come in the order people said yes.

The box answers; it does not introduce. To write to someone, their own rules apply, checked below. Nothing was sent. This is an example, answered in this page from the manifest.

Who can write to whom

Who can write to Soraya, checked

Soraya’s page says people on the same list may write to her. Each row is checked in this page with Kindling’s rules: her own preference, this Pool’s email minimum and its two block lists, the way a compliant client would §7.

A listener’s own screen

Leaving is one action

This is Soraya’s own screen for the list. It shows her card, who keeps the list, and one way out.

Leaving sends one withdrawal message, and the Pool must process it within sixty seconds §5.3. Her page stays hers, and so does her place on the Tacoma house show’s list, which is a separate Pool. Privacy inside a Pool comes from its visibility, never from kindling_noindex, which means “do not include me in any Pool at all” §2.7.
