		Publicly accessible mailing lists on the network
		    compiled by Chuq Von Rospach (nsc!chuqui)
			    Last Update: 3/4/85 

This is a list of mailing lists available on the 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.

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 net-wide basis but do tend to increase loading on the
moderators machine so the number of people that can be added to a list
may be limited by machine resources as well.

If you have a list that you want added to this posting or are interested in
starting a list but don't know how, drop me a note at ..!nsc!chuqui.
