This compilation is copyrighted 1992, 1993 by Stephanie da Silva.  No 
part of it may be reproduced in any form, without explicit permission 
from the author.

This is a list of mailing lists available primarily through the Internet 
and the UUCP network.  A mailing list is different from a newsgroup 
because you do not receive anything unless you specifically request it. 
To be added to a mailing list, please mail a note to the contact for that 
list, listed below.

Some of the lists mentioned may be available as limited-distribution
newsgroups.  Contact the administrator for exact details.

Please note the following caveats: publication of a list here does not
guarantee that you will be allowed to join as a member.  That is up to
the moderator and readers, and they have the right to restrict access
to their list as they see fit.  Mailing lists use MUCH less system
overhead on a world-wide basis but do tend to increase loading on the
moderators' machines so the number of people that can be added to a list
may be limited by machine resources as well.

The mailing lists are current to my knowledge, however, I cannot 
guarantee the accuracy of the listings.  Keeping the entries up to 
date is the responsibility of the individual list owners.

This list is archived and available by anonymous ftp at rtfm.mit.edu
under the directory /pub/usenet/news.answers/mail/mailing-lists.

If you have a list that you want added to this posting, send a request
to arielle@taronga.com.  Please include the list name, contact (request)
address and a brief description of your list in the format of the mailing 
lists already included.

    AltInst is open to folks from any political persuasion, but general
    political flaming/discussion is forbidden.  Skip the theory and just 
    tell us your vision of how something could be different, and how that 
    would work.  Many of us are truly excited to hear about creative 
    well-considered suggestions, no matter what the source, but quickly 
    bored by both ideological is-to-is-not flaming, and partisan rah-rahs 
    for anything "politically correct" in some camp.

    expressed in art and literature, in the physiques and feats of
    female athletes, in sexual values and practices, and provides
    information, discussion and a supportive environment for these
    values and issues.  Gender role traditionalists and others who are
    opposed to Amazon ideals should not subscribe.

amend2-discuss
amend2-info
    Contact: Majordomo@cs.colorado.edu

    Purpose: Colorado voted in an amendment to their state
    constitution which revokes any existing gay/lesbian/bisexual
    civil rights legislation and prohibits the drafting of any
    new legislation.  The amendment was spearheaded by a right-
    wing organization inappropriately self-named Colorado Family
    Values (CFV).  It is our understanding that they have no
    intention of stopping their hate campaign here; they intended
    to push for legislation with a stronger discriminatory flavor
    here in Colorado and surrounding states.

    Two mail/news groups have been created in response to this
    discriminatory amendment. 

    amend2-discuss is for people who are discussing the
    implications and issues surrounding the passing of amendment 2.

    amend2-info is a moderated mailing list for people interested
    in information on the implication and issues of #2.

    Sending mail to either mailing list has the effect of also
    posting the message to the corresponding shadow newsgroup.
    We encourage people to use the mailing list address when
    disseminating information so that those people who are on the
    mailing list but who do not have access to news can benefit
    from the discussion/information.

    To subscribe to either list, send mail to:
     Majordomo@cs.colorado.edu
    where the body of the message is:

    innovative companies trying to give them the sophisticated tools 
    they need to compete in the new global environment. Instead of 
    "hunting" for far away companies and offering incentives to try 
    to get them to locate in Littleton, we concentrate on adding value 
    to existing local companies, or "gardening". Services include using 
    commercial databases to provide a variety of strategic information.

    We are also actively interested in systems thinking, chaos, and 
    complexity as they apply to economics. We look forward to hearing 
    from those of you out there who use information, and who are 
    involved with businesses.

    related to managing Internet mailing lists, including (but not
    limited to) software, methods, mechanisms, techniques, and 
    policies.

    I've created the list as "List-Managers@GreatCircle.COM".  
    That address is a direct mail relector: all messages sent to 
    that address are immediately forwarded to the list.  There is a
    digestified version of the list available as "List-Managers-
    Digest@GreatCircle.COM".  The digestified version has exactly
    the same messages as the direct version; the messages are

    To join the List-Mangers mailing list, send the command

    subscribe list-managers

    in the body of a message to "Majordomo@GreatCircle.COM".  If
    you want to subscribe something other than the account the

    append that address to the "subscribe" command; for example,
    to subscribe "local-list-managers":

    subscribe list-managers local-list-managers@your.domain.net

    managers-digest" for "list-managers" in the examples above.

Meteorology Students

    three continents subscribed to the list.

    Beside the usual chatting, subjects of discussion could be student 
    related topics such as scholarships, summer schools, conferences, 
    and conditions of studying meteorology at a particular university.  
    There is also the option to ask the community for help in meteorology 
    related questions.  There are  freshman, as well as grad students, 
    that will be available to answer your questions in this field.

    If there are enough people interested we could organize a kind 
    of project, too.

    To come to know each other there is a short questionaire available.  
    Though no obligation exists to fill it out, it would be nice if all 
    new subscribers would at least answer the basic questions about their  
    name, address and university. New answered forms are posted to the  
    list; old ones are available on request.

    Administrative mail such as subscription or questionaire requests 
    should be sent to:

          dennis@metw3.met.fu-berlin.de

    year history the band has gone through many phases, from psychedelic

    TaDream's most innovative period was in the mid to late 70s, when they
    were exploring complex tone colors and rich, textural soundscapes, yet
    still retaining melodic rock solo elements.  Suggested albums for
    ambient house fans wanting to broaden their horizons: Phaedra (1974),
    Epsilon in Malaysian Pale (1975, Edgar Froese solo album), Force
    Majeure (1979), Logos (1982, live), Poland (1984, live).

    currently lack a forum.  We know from our own experience that one of 
    the difficulties people dealing with tbi face is that their time is 
    often dominated by the survivor's recovery process. Accessing support 
    groups or networking of any kind can seem like one more thing to add 
    to an already packed schedule. A forum such as this is available at 
    all hours of the day or night and does not need to become one more event 
    that must be scheduled.  

    The postings to the list are archived and made available monthly 
    through the listserv.  A file containing introductions submitted by 
    subscribers is also available along with files relevant to topics of 
    the list.  Additions to these resources are welcomed.

    To subscribe to tbi-sprt send mail to listserv@sjuvm.bitnet or
    listserv@sjuvm.stjohns.edu
