This compilation is copyrighted 1992, 1993, 1994 by Stephanie da Silva.
No part of it may be reproduced in any form, except through normal Usenet
distribution channels, 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.
Be aware that not all lists are administered the same way, specifically,
not all lists are listservs. The default is *always* to assume that the
list is maintained by a person. Don't send listserv commands unless the
contact address starts with "majordomo," "listproc,' or "listserv" or the
instructions explicitly say to send listserver-type commands. Please keep
this in mind as many list owners will get annoyed if you send them listserv
commands.
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. On the same vein, please
send corrections only on information taken from the current version of the
PAML. This document is posted on the 19th of each month and supersedes
any previous versions. If the version you have is more than one month old,
then it is obsolete. The latest version may be obtained from the ftp site.
This list is archived and available by anonymous ftp at rtfm.mit.edu
under the directory /pub/usenet/news.answers/mail/mailing-lists. It
is also accessible via the World Wide Web at this location:
URL: http://www.ii.uib.no/cgi-bin/paml
If you have a list that you want added to this posting, send a request
to ari...@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: Majo...@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:
Majo...@cs.colorado.edu
where the body of the message is:

range of topics such as job design, technology infrastructure, change

hard a job as understanding the phenomenon. BPR-L has been set up

and future. "Fantasy" is defined, for the purposes of this list, as
that which comes from the imagination, not that which comes from
existing historical designs. Ideally we'd like to concentrate on the
creation of new and unique designs, rather than on the reproduction of
something already existent. Discussions should concentrate on design,
motivation and execution of fantasy clothing, costume, or wearable
art. Suitable topics include techniques of abstraction, theatrical
costumes, serious Halloween and Mardi Gras costumes, mythological and
other non-factual historic-type costumes, incorporating mixed media,
creative and motivational forces, using and finding patterns,
materials, books, and other sources for supplies.
Both a direct mail and a digest version are offered. Both carry
identical information and conversations, but the procedure to sign up
for one or the other is a little different. To subscribe to either,
send e-mail to majo...@lunch.asd.sgi.com with the command:

fish, and poultry. Two main proponents of this style of diet are
John McDougall and Dean Ornish.
Members are encouraged to contribute recipes, testimonials, food
news, requests, tips on dealing with family and friends, anecdotes,
jokes, and questions of any sort at least mildly related to lowfat
vegetarianism and living a healthy lifestyle (both McDougall and
Ornish emphasize mild exercise and relaxation activities as part of
a healthy lifestyle). This is not a moderated list.
This is a high volume list; we generally get between 5 and 30 messages
per day. There are two ways to receive the list, regular and digest.
Regular members receive each message individually throughout the day.

be mailed around is the new skills that have been added, and the

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),

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.
