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 prefered address is.

Steven Bjork at the Network Information Systems Center maintains a
list of mailing lists that exist primarily on the Internet.  That list
overlaps this one in a few places, but the lists are largely distinct.
A copy of that list may be obtained by anonymous ftp from the site
ftp.nisc.sri.com (192.33.33.22) in the file "netinfo/interest-groups".
To add or delete an entry to that list, mail to
interest-groups-request@nisc.sri.com.

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@purdue.edu
