Intro
-----
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.

The list does not include any of the many hundreds of lists that are
available through various Bitnet ListServ sites.

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.

In your request to join a list, please include a signature or some
other copy of your mailing address.  DO NOT RELY on your "From:" mail
header arriving unmangled or even vaguely representing what you think
your preferred address is.

If you have a list that you want added to this posting, send a request
to [e-mail].

    civil rights legislation and prohibits the drafting of any
    new legislation.  The amendment was spearheaded by a right-

    Values (CFV).  It is our understanding that they have no
    intention of stopping their hate campaign here; they intended

    here in Colorado and surrounding states.

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

    implications and issues surrounding the passing of amendment 2.

    from the discussion/information.

    list are welcome.

    GUIDELINES

    The language of the list is English.

    The list is meant to be low in volume and high in s/n ratio.

    Controversy and speculation are welcome, as are lack of
    controversy and rigor.  Since the emphasis is scientific and
    academic, participants are expected to be extremely tolerant of
    other participants' opinions and choice of words.  Since cogneuro
    is such a huge field, submission shsouldn't be too off-topic or
    otherwise not essentially scientific or academic.

    The list is initally open to anybody who is interested.  Although
    I don't expect ever to need to exercise it, I reserve the right
    to remove anybody from the list if there are problems.  I want to
    keep a spirit of free exchange of cognitive neuroscience.

    Other than this, the list is moderated and informal.

    organizations, in most Western European countries.

    We work for the strengthening of existing monarchies, the restoration
    in those countries with a monarchist tradition, and the building up
    of an infrastructure appropriate to the instuaration of monarchy in
    those countries without a living monarchist tradition.

    more; the series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

    Purpose: There was a "Mailing Lists" workshop session at the
    USENIX System Administration Conference (LISA VI) in Long Beach,
    CA, on October 22, 1992.  The participants in that workshop
    expressed a desire for a mailing list for discussions of issues
    related to managing Internet mailing lists, including (but not
    limited to) software, methods, mechanisms, techniques, and
    policies.

    I've created the list as "[e-mail]".
    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-
    [e-mail]".  The digestified version has exactly
    the same messages as the direct version; the messages are
    simply bundled into digests daily (or more frequently, if
    traffic warrants).  Both lists are unmoderated.

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

    subscribe list-managers

    in the body of a message to "[e-mail]".  If
    you want to subscribe something other than the account the
    mail is coming from, such a a local redistribution list, then
    append that address to the "subscribe" command; for example,
    to subscribe "local-list-managers":

    subscribe list-managers [e-mail]

    To subscribe to the digestified version, substitute "list-
    managers-digest" for "list-managers" in the examples above.

    languages.  It is intended as a tool for experimental linguistics,

    international auxiliary language.

    Lojban-list is an unmoderated mail reflector.  New subscribers are
