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. 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 spaf@gatech.edu Groups listed in this posting mail.12step mail.alternates mail.amiga-minix mail.anime mail.auto mail.blues mail.christian mail.clu mail.compress mail.desktop mail.elm mail.esperanto mail.feminists mail.firearms mail.gnu-manual mail.handicapped mail.horse mail.info-encore mail.info-gnu mail.info-sendmail mail.info-futures mail.info-tahoe mail.interleaf mail.isi mail.jazz mail.jewish mail.kites mail.lucid mail.martial-arts mail.medphys mail.men mail.mtxinu-users mail.new-age mail.ocean.policy mail.OtherRealms mail.pro-video mail.sappho mail.sco-xenix mail.scribe mail.security mail.silicon-compilers mail.supercomputers mail.sysops mail.tartan-c mail.teehee mail.transputer mail.VMEbus mail.whitewater mail.wildnet mail.wobegon mail.zilog ug.bizarre Specific Information on Groups mail.12step Contact {decvax,ihnp4,ucbvax,sdcrdcf}!trwrb!suhre (Maurice Suhre) Purpose: To discuss/share experiences about 12 step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Alanon, ACA, etc. Questions will also be answered. mail.alternates Contact: alternates@tekla.tek.com -or- tektronix!tekla!alternates (Hank Buurman) Purpose: Mail.alternates is an e-mail group of people who advocate, and/or practice an open sexual lifestyle.
