SRI.COM:[ANONYMOUS.NETINFO]INTEREST-GROUPS [31 Aug 1994] Welcome to the "List of lists." This is a listing of special interest group mailing lists available on the Internet. It was started by Rich Zellich back when there was only an Arpanet, and is probably the oldest of the various "list of lists" available around the Internet. If you are putting up a copy of this list in a public place, please let me know so that I can let you know when new versions come out. If you see an old version of this list in a public repository on the net, please let me (or the owner of the repository) know. I don't produce a list of incremental changes to this list - you have to get the whole list. If you want to receive notices of new lists as they are created, check out the "NEW-LIST" list. I don't have time to respond to requests for searches for lists on specific topics - you'll have to pull the list and search it yourself (which you've probably already done if you're reading this). Since this is supposed to be a list of Internet lists, I'm trying to translate all of the BITNET addresses into direct Internet addresses. If you see one that I've missed, and know the correct address please let me know. If you are looking for a summary of BITNET lists, send a message to LISTSERV@BITNIC.EDUCOM.EDU with "list global" in the message body. If you find errors in the entries in this list, please let me know (especially if you find a listing for a defunct list). This compilation is copyrighted by Vivian Neou. You are welcome to copy it to look at it online, but it may not be reproduced in any other form without written permission from me. This file is available via anonymous FTP on sri.com in the NETINFO directory in the file INTEREST-GROUPS. It may also be obtained through e-mail by sending a message to mail-server@sri.com with "send interest-groups" in the body of the message. A hardcopy, indexed version of the June, 1993 edition of this list is available from Prentice Hall under the title "Internet: Mailing Lists". The ISBN number for this book is 0-13-289661-3. It is available in many bookstores, and may be ordered directly from Prentice Hall by calling 515-284-6751. A new book based on the new list will be coming out later this year. To submit updates for the description of an existing mailing-lists or to add a new listing, send a message to vivian@sri.com. Listings should include the following information: List Address: Subscription Address: Owner: Description: Archive location and availability: How to join: List Traffic: (eg: around 3 messages/day) List owners: If you are sending in information about a list that has been around for awhile, please include information about the amount of traffic that the list gets. If you are starting a list, please send this information in (if you think of it) after the list has been around for a couple months. PLEASE NOTE: For administrative requests about a list (like getting added or deleted, asking about archive files, etc.) you write to the address listed under "Subscription Address" *NOT* the "List Address". This gets you to the list owner or an automated list processor, rather than to the membership of the entire mailing list. If the subscription address is a LISTSERV, send a message with "subscribe listname" in the BODY of the message to the subscription address. Some List Addresses do not look like a regular Internet e-mail address. In general, these are LISTSERV lists. To send a message to the list, look at the Subscription Address, and use that hostname along with the list name to send a message to the list. For example, to send a message to a list with a List Address called MYLIST with a Subscription Address of LISTSERV@MYDOMAIN.COM, send your message to MYLIST@MYDOMAIN.COM. Unix-based listservers usually require you to include your name in the subscription request, so the command in your request should be of the form "subscribe listname firstname lastname". Most automated list servers will send back an explanation of the correct command structure if you happen to get it wrong in your request. If the subscription address is MAILBASE, send a message with "join listname FirstName LastName" in the body of the message to the subscription address. ======================================================================== 3COM-L%NUSVM.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV%NUSVM.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Owner: Chandra Liem, CCECL@NUSVM.BITNET Description: This mailing list is to discuss 3Com products, such as 3+ Network, 3+Open LAN Manager, 3+Open TCP, 3+/3+Open Mail, NDIS, MultiConnect Repeater, LanScanner, 3Com Ethernet Cards etc. Archives of 3COM-L discussions can be listed by sending the command INDEX 3COM-L to LISTSERV@NUSVM.BITNET 3D@lbl.gov Subscription Address: 3D-REQUEST@LBL.GOV Owner: John Bercovitz, JHBercovitz@lbl.gov Last Update: 5/10/94 Description: An unmoderated list for discussing 3-D (Stereo) photography.

BLISTER@WORLD.STD.COM Subscription Address: MAJORDOMO@WORLD.STD.COM Owner: levin@ebo.ci.net Last Update: 3/28/94 Description: Blister stands for Book LISTs with ER just tacked on for mnemonic purposes. Blister is a place to send lists of books, not to discuss books. Don't send discussion of books to the blister list. Do not write to tell someone they have bad taste; they won't care, good books don't need your defense, bad books don't need your condemnation, etc. The idea of the blister list is that you: 1) Get a list of every book you've ever read. 2) Categorize those books into groups you like and dislike, which you can do in any way. 3) Post it to the list. Feel free to make up categories. If you think that some purpose would be served by "Books only an out-of-work Paralegal could enjoy" include it. You can include "on a scale of 10" type ratings if you want; a little commentary; whatever. Uniformity of approach isn't important; whether someone can tell if they like what you like is. The point is that from time to time you'll see a letter from someone who seems to have similar taste to yours, and there'll be a whole slew of books that person loved that you haven't read, and you'll read them and love them. Bear in mind that very few people have taste as good as you do. Most of the letters will be from people whose taste is inferior to yours. Their lists are potentially very, very long. Just delete those letters. Don't bother trying to reeducate cretins. They don't know good literature when they see it and can't be taught.

CHILDFREE@LUNCH.ASD.SGI.COM Subscription Address: CHILDFREE-REQUEST@LUNCH.ASD.SGI.COM Owner: Diane Close Description: The child-free mailing list provides information, discussion and a supportive environment for people who choose, are in the process of choosing, or have been been forced to remain, for various reasons, child-free. This is not a mailing list for for anyone trying to bash the childless state; here, being childless is not something that has to be defended. The list welcomes those searching for the answer to child-free versus children, but note that the emphasis of this list stays on the child-free state as being accepted and good. Not everyone on the list is 100% pro-child-free, but all have valuable insights and ideas about what being childless has meant in their lives, and all are accepting of the childless state as a good and valuable lifestyle choice. Abuse of this list is not tolerated. Typical discussions include fighting with internal voices about "the natural order of things", dealing with the misconception about not being a REAL woman if you don't want to have a child, battling family expectations and societial pressures such as giving our parents grandchildren, and the prejudices, questions, and general nosiness that we who remain child-free have to face in this kids-oriented society. We also discuss what we may face in maintaining relationships with our friends who have children, or who go from being child-free to having kids while we're friends. To reach a genuine human being, for help with problems encountered when using this list, send mail to owner-childfree@lunch.asd.sgi.com.

CHPOEM-L@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU Owner: Description: CHPOEM-L is an electronic mailing list devoted to sharing and discussing Chinese poems. For detailed conventions used for the list and technical info of Chinese computing, please FTP the CHPOEM-L Information File from ahkcus.org -192.55.187.25- in the directory ./gb/poem. Chinese files sent to the list should be uuencoded. The uuencode command is included on most Unix-based systems; type "man uuencode" for instructions on its use, or ask your system administrator. PC versions of uuencode and uudecode are available via anonymous ftp from ahkcus.org [192.55.187.25] as uuduue20.zip in the src/pc directory. (Ask your system administrator for help using FTP.) For information about uuencode and the Mac, see the Mac help file mentioned below. To read a file written in Chinese, you will need a program that can interpret the Chinese code used in that file. Different programs are available for different hardware platforms. PC users can get information about GuoBiao editors by sending email to LISTSERV@UGA.BITNET with the message GET PC HELP. HKU Big5 files can be viewed with shownews.exe or readnews.exe, available via anonymous ftp at ahkcus.org [192.55.187.25] in the src/pc/hku directory. (You will also need the chinese.16 font file from the same directory.) ET Big5 files must be read with the ETen operating system, which is commercial software selling for about US$80. However there is a utility, et2hku, to convert ET Big5 files to HKU Big5 files, which can then be read with shownews. Mac users can get information about both GuoBiao and Big5 software by sending email to LISTSERV@UGA.BITNET with the message GET MAC HELP. X Windows users can use either cxterm or xhzview for both GuoBiao or Big5 files. For information about cxterm, send email to LISTSERV@UGA.BITNET with the message GET CXTERM HELP. For infor- mation about xhzview, send email to LISTSERV@UGA.BITNET with the message GET XHZVIEW HELP. To convert between GuoBiao and Big5 (et or hku) files, use hc ("Hanzi Converter"), available via anonymous ftp from ahkcus.org [192.55.187.25] in the src/unix directory. (There is another conversion utility available called b2g, but it seems to miss a large number of characters.) Since Big5 covers about 5,000 more characters than GuoBiao, it's likely there will be a few missing characters in Big5 to GuoBiao conversions. To convert between ET Big5 and HKU Big5, use et2hku, available via anonymous ftp from cs.purdue.edu [128.10.2.1] in the pub/ygz/utils directory.

Philosophical fiction would include the novels of Bataille, Ballard, Gibson, Sartre; works of Jabes, Michaux, Lautreamont, Karl Kraus; poetry of Lucretius, Susan Howe, Holderlin; the philosophical micro-narratives of Baudrillard, Nietzsche, and Barthes; Lingis' exhilerated accounts of the other/ gender, Kathy Acker's deconstruction of sexualities and politics, and other writers/writings too numerous to mention... Why this list? Because "creative" and theoretic writing are interwoven yet distanced by the history of faculties, and because new formations carry the possibilities of new modes of thinking through our overheated postmodern cultural terrain. The list has as goals both the discussion of the FICTION-OF-PHILOSOPHY in general or in reference to specific authors; and the presentation of creative work that may bear on current issues of theory. The threads on the list might include presentations and discussions of creative work by the participants, cross-postings addressing relevant issues, discussions/critiques/group readings of specific literary works, and discussions of more general issues ranging from the interface between poetry and philosophy, to the narratology of the site of writing-philosophy (Heidegger's forest, Jabes' desert, Ballard's highway). This list is open to everyone interested in philosophy and theory, on any level. FICTION-OF-PHILOSOPHY is brought to you by the Spoon Collective, a group of Net citizens devoted to free and open discussion of literary and philosophical issues on the Internet. Based on the Collective's philosophy, please be aware that posts containing language or subject matter that some might find offensive may appear on the list from time to time, and such posts will not be censored.

FORSUM-L@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BROWN.EDU Owner: forsum@igc.apc.org Last Update: 4/12/93 Description: The Alliance for Environmental Education is working with the U.S. Department of Education and the White House to extend President Clinton's April 2 Northwest Forest Summit in Portland, Oregon, to the K-12 and university communities via computer networks. A group of environmental educators will review White House briefings, summit transcripts and post-summit follow-up materials which will be made available electronically by the Administration. Drawing from existing curriculum materials, this group of educators will produce brief teacher guides for various grade levels. This will be supplemented with guides to available educational resources on forest-related subjects. The entire package will be distributed to computer networks serving education. On each of these networks, interactive discussion of the material by students and teachers will be encouraged by volunteer online teacher/mentors. There is no budget associated with this project, only the tremendous "capital" it could generate by showing how online networking can benefit education. Teachers and students involved in the "Forest Summit Online" project will experience an interactive, dynamic forum that is the result of their cumulative activity. Each forum (the interactive part may vary depending on the network accessed) will focus on common, unaltered text materials coming from three sources: the U.S. Department of Education will provide introductory material; the White House - complete transcripts of Forest Summit-related briefings, press conferences, announcements and the complete transcripts of summit speakers will be posted online by the White House Communications Office; supplemental materials developed by the project steering committee. VOLUNTEER TEACHER/MENTOR/MONITORS will review the online discussion and post questions in the online forums, guiding discussion toward informed, fair, critical analysis of the issues. They will endeavor to assist teachers and students with finding information or academic resources that support their study of the issues. They also will attempt to elicit feedback from teachers and students about how the information presented by this project is being used in their classrooms and studies. LISTS OF AVAILABLE EDUCATION RESOURCES that focus on forest issues will be posted online by the project steering committee to help teachers integrate the Forest Summit into their existing curriculum. These will include the results of an ERIC search by the AskERIC Information Resource service at Syracuse University. It could also include a list of environmental education concepts related to forests, extracted from NAAEE's "Essential Learnings In Environmental Education" database. CURRICULUM UNITS focusing on forests could be included, if appropriate. REFERRALS to other online forums where forest issues are being discussed will be made. EXPERTS could be connected online to answer questions from students and teachers. Here again, achieving balance and fairness in representing all views is probably tricky, but this could be useful to make sure that a wide range of views is guaranteed. GUIDED ACTIVITIES, such as role-playing in online discussion, may be useful techniques to introduce to help focus dialog. Volunteers are needed, especially teachers experienced in online facilitation. Contact to offer assistance. The online conferences/mailing lists receiving and participating in this project are electronic classrooms, run by teachers for the benefit of their students. Others are welcome to observe. Related List: The "nwfor" list on lserv@psg.com is related to this list. However, "nwfor" is intended for general discussion of the issues.

LYMENET-L@LEHIGH.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@Lehigh.EDU Owner: Marc Gabriel Last Update: 3/10/93 Description: Lyme Disease is now the fastest growing infectious disease in the United States. In 10 short years, this little known bacterial infection has claimed half a million victims and the number of new patients continues to spiral upward with no relief in sight. It is estimated that in 1991, 100,000 Americans contracted this dangerous disease. If left untreated, LD can cause permanent nerve, musculoskeletal and cardiac damage. Unfortunately, many in the medical and political arenas have not given this epidemic much thought. Self appointed experts in the academic community have declared that LD can always be cured with short courses of simple antibiotics. However, as the number of cases rise, doctors on the front lines are discovering that LD is more serious that previously suspected, requiring longer treatment therapies and more complex combinations of medicines. The battle lines have been drawn. And the battles continue at LD conferences, and in the various State legislatures where insurance companies, terrified at the high cost of LD, are attempting to short change patients. Estimates show that the average cost of treatment for chronic LD patients ranges from $60,000 to $100,000 per patient. This list provides an avenue to keep up with the latest developments, including new treatment protocols, research news and political events. LymeNet, in association with the Lyme Disease Network of New Jersey, Inc., provides a periodic newsletter with the latest information.

MARXISM@WORLD.STD.COM Subscription Address: MAJORDOMO@WORLD.STD.COM Owner: Spoon Collective, Flannon Jackson Last Update: 8/1/94 Description: Marxism is an electronic forum for discussion and experimentation rooted in both the work of Karl Marx and, more generally, the tradition(s) that work has inspired since. Thus it has been conceived as a place to explore the field oftextual and political production generated by the work of Karl Marx (and Friedrich Engels). Clearly, this field encompasses a diversity of differing traditions and figures, from Lenin and Luxemburg to Williams and West; the complete A to Z from Althusser to Zizek, one might say. It is not the intention of the moderators of this list that any particular tradition or orthodoxy should receive more attention or more "allegiance" on this list than any other. Indeed, the moderators see little particular benefit in calling themselves "Marxists" and scarcely require participants in the list's discussion necessarily to identify themselves as "Marxists" either. Rather, the list should be a forum for open engagement and enquiry with all aspects of these Marxist traditions--and we hope that this will be an interdisciplinary engagement, bringing together historians, economists, sociologists, artists, literary critics, philosophers and so on. Furthermore, while it is anticipated that the list will be primarily "academic" in nature, this is by no means meant to devalue or prevent contributions from activists or others outside the formal educational system. The list gets between 10-15 messages /day. MARYLIB Subscription Address: LISTSERV@UMAB.UMD.EDU Owner: Diane L.

Ownership of an 'antique' computer is not required for membership, but flames from people who feel that anything that is not cutting edge technology is worthless are discouraged. PEIRCE-L Subscription Address: LISTPROC@UNICORN.ACS.TTU.EDU Owner: Joseph Ransdell Description: This list is open to the discussion of all topics pertaining to the work of the American philosopher/logician/scientist Charles Sanders Peirce. Since Peirce is especially associated not only with topics in logic and the philosophy of science, but also with theory of representation and interpretation ("semiotic"), and with the conception of thought as essentially communicational and social, the list is highly interdisciplinary in membership and discussion content. But the intention is to keep continuing focus on the philosophical basis of his thought as well as its special applications, and to encourage discussion which is philosophical in content and attitude. The list was begun in August 1993. The membership of PEIRCE-L, which already includes people from some two dozen countries and from a remarkable range of disciplines, is not limited to those with academic posts or connections, and its members have found no difficulty in sustaining discussion at a high level of rigor, a vigorous pace, and a geniality of attitude without need for recourse to heavy-handed moderation. There is no standing agenda except the promotion of philosophical conversation, and it was founded in the belief that a common interest in Peirce's work would turn out to provide an unusually good pretext for people getting together on-line to do that. Observers as well as active participants are welcome: this is a public forum. List-based discussion in the liberal arts is in some ways more akin to oral than to written discourse, and its rhythms and achievements are perhaps best compared with the kind of communication that occurs in public squares in those countries which have managed to maintain pre-modern traditions of informal public gathering. Yet there is a difference, too, in that all discussion is recorded, retrievable, and searchable by textstring with Boolean operators, and the responses posted in PEIRCE-L are frequently long enough and well-enough developed conceptually to make the advantage of written discourse readily apparent, too. Facilities for a member-donated library of pre-prints, work-in-progress, and other secondary materials, and of primary material by Peirce himself in digitized form, are in preparation. The list also serves as an information resource for professional activities. This list is sponsored by the Department of Philosophy at Texas Tech University, and by The Peirce Telecommunity Project/Electronic Peirce Consortium. PEN-PALS Subscription Address: PEN-PALS-REQUEST@MAINSTREAM.COM Owner: Last Update: 8/22/94 Description: To provide a forum for children to correspond electronically with each other. Hopefully this will help them improve their writing skills in a non-hostile environment. It can serve as a meeting place for them from which they can take their discussions off-line. This list is not moderated, but is monitored for content. Those who misuse the list will be sent e-mail off-line explaining their mis-use and potentially bumped from the list. This list is managed by listproc.

POLI-SCI@RUTGERS.EDU Subscription Address: POLI-SCI-REQUEST@RUTGERS.EDU Owner: JoSH Hall Description: POLI-SCI is a spinoff from the HUMAN-NETS discussion list. Shortly after the November 1980 election, HUMAN-NETS began to discuss the impact that electronic communications had on the election. As this discussion continued, it lost its narrow focus on electronic communications and began to consider the election in general, how elections are won and lost, and the nature of the electoral college. The growth of these discussions, and their spawning of related discussions, indicated that a separate discussion list was merited and POLI-SCI was installed. Since then POLI-SCI has begun to consider other topics including the history of the Carter and Nixon presidencies, the Iranian hostage crisis, etc. (with a little less dignity, the list might be characterized as a permanent distributed political bull session). Archived digest messages are stored on RUTGERS in: mail.txt and other files in the directory POLITICS@UCF1VM.CC.UCF.EDU Subscription Address: Owner: Jim Ennis Last Update: 6/2/92 Description: A list for the serious discussion of politics, hosted by the University of Central Florida.

POPULATION-BIOLOGY Subscription Address: BIOSCI-SERVER@NET.BIO.NET Owner: Vincent Bauchau Description: Population Biology is a synthesis of population ecology and population genetics, pursuing a unified theory to explain the structure, functioning and evolution of populations of living beings. Such populations are very complex systems, exhibiting a variety of phenomena that we stil do not master. Just to quote a famous example, multiannual density cycles (e.g. in lemmings) have not received a satisfactory expalnation, despite of decades of debated studies and speculations. Population Biology is a very active field, encompassing such diverse approaches as tenacious, harsh field work to track long term demographic and genetic fluctuations, or sophisticated conversations with a computer about strange attractors possibly causing chaos in the density fluctuations. Topics that can be discussed include: ecology, population genetics, systematics, evolution, morphometry, interspecific competition, sociobiology, mathematical modelling, population regulation, pest control, speciation, chromosomal evolution, social behaviour, statistical methodology in population study, population management of endangered species, applications of molecular biology techniques, etc., and, last but not least, your own topic. There is no restriction on the species: viruses, protokaryotes, plants, animals (including man), mythic or extinct species, computer- simulated species... Technical problems, book reviews, meeting annoucements and so on are also welcome. This list is gatewayed to the newsgroup bionet.population-bio.

SHOGI-L%TECHNION.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@TECHNION.TECHNION.AC.IL Owner: Chris Sterritt , Pieter Stouten Description: SHOGI-L, the Shogi Discussion List, is a mailing list started on May 6, 1990 about the strategic board game of Shogi. The list serves as a discussion point for Shogi-related topics and as a source of information about Shogi tactics and Shogi events. It also offers to Shogi players the possibility to engage in e-mail games in a friendly ladder competition. Shogi is much like 'western' chess, but has some very interesting differences. One is that almost all pieces can promote to stronger pieces once they reach the opposite side of the board. The second very important difference is that when a piece is captured, it becomes a piece for the capturing side, and can be dropped back onto the board! This makes for a very exciting game, with an extremely low percentage of draws. Many strong Chess players, such as International Master Larry Kaufman in the US (who is the strongest non-Japanese player outside Japan), have found Shogi to be a great game to play. Although played by millions in Japan, so far it isn't well known outside Japan. But surely, there are some net-people out there who would like to play or get to know more about it. For Apple Macintosh owners we also have a Hypercard Shogi Stack available, which contains valuable information for every Shogi novice.

TECHSPIRIT-L Subscription Address: LISTSERVER@WILLIAMS.EDU Owner: Mark Taylor , Michael Brown Description: As the electronic communication revolution gathers momentum, it is becoming clear that we are in the midst of a global transformation that will change human thought and experience at an unprecedented rate. One of the least expected but most important areas of culture to be affected by the electronic revolution is religious and spiritual life. From traditional forms of western and eastern religion to recent experimental groups and sects, individuals on a spiritual path are searching for new methods of communication, including the Internet and related techologies. This list is for the exploration of the implications of technospirituality. Key questions include, but are by no means limited to, the following: What new spiritual possibilities does cybertechnology create? How how are individuals and groups using computers and the media to deliver their spiritual message, whatever it might be? How does the technology affect their message? What kinds of spiritual experiments are taking place on the Net right now, and where will they lead? Within this broad framework, no subject is out of bounds. We want to know what is already going on, what you think should be going on, and what you fear might be going on.

Help!"; "What is vendor-ware?"; "I cannot seem to convince my students of the importance of audience analysis when writing proposals. Does anyone have exercises or real-life examples which might help?". Other questions explored by this group include:"I am a new technical writer at a company manufacturing heavy equipment. My employer insists on using terminology which is not consistent with industry standards. Users have said is confusing.

Passmore Description: TRDEV-L provides a forum for the exchange of information on the training and the development of human resources. Training is designed to improved human work performance on the job, and development prepares employees to adjust and grow with the organization. Training and development plays a strategic role in organization performance, and human resource professionals have a responsibility to explore their field and to expand their knowledge base. Participation in activities such as TRDEV-L assist in accomplishing this task. The primary focus of this list is to stimulate research collaboration and assistance in training and development for the academic and professional communities. We invite the discussion of policy and practice issues, the posting of position announcements, pre-publication drafts of manuscripts, and news and reports of conferences. Because of rapid changes in technology, traditional sources of this type of information are no longer adequate. With this in mind, the Institute for Research in Training and Development at Penn State University in cooperation with The University Research Council in Human Resource Development initiated this network for the ongoing and timely exchange of information in this field. This discussion group, managed by the Training and Development Society Graduate Student Organization at Penn State, was developed and field-tested through a grant from the Technical Foundation of America. Contributions sent to this list are automatically archived. You can obtain a list of the available archive files by sending an "INDEX TRDEV-L" command to the subscription address. These files can then be retrieved by means of a "GET TRDEV-L filetype" command. TREK-REVIEW-L@CORNELL.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@CORNELL.EDU Owner: Uncle Mikey Last Update: 3/12/93 Description: TREK-REVIEW-L exists as a noise-free forum for reviews of Star Trek material. This category includes but is not limited to television programs, feature films, novels and novelizations, comic books, games and parodies of Star Trek. The list is not rooted in any specific generation of Trek. Original Series, Animated Series, Movie Era, Next Generation and Deep Space Nine materials are all valid. One way to perceive this list is as a kind of edited electronic fanzine. Where 'rec.arts.startrek.info' is a kind of Trek newspaper, containing only hard news and plot summaries, this mailing list exists for critical opinion features written by and for the electronic mail audience. There are three categories of acceptable submission: review, rating, and comment. 'REVIEW' is defined as a CRITICAL essay about either a specific work or Star Trek in general. Posts of the form, 'I thought that TNG's latest episode, "Foo on Picard" was the awesomest episode ever' or, similarly, 'I thought that DSN's latest episode, "O'Brien Gets Drunk" sucked backwards' are not acceptable. 'RATING' is defined as a graded or numeric rating. If you wish to merely register your opinion without critical comment, then you may send such a rating to the list address. Ratings collected in this manner, as well as copied from reviews, will be posted periodically on a per-episode basis. 'COMMENT' is defined as a CRITICAL response to a review. This is not a discussion list; however, CRITICAL responses to reviews sent to the list address which the moderator believes to be of general interest will be bundled together and published in digest format as a 'letter column'. Submissions should be sent to 'TREK-REVIEW-L@cornell.edu'. Accepted submissions are acknowledged by publication. Rejected submissions will be acknowledged by a return letter, explaining why the submission was rejected. What the list isn't for: The list is not a discussion list. Neither, however, is it intended to displace 'rec.arts.startrek.current' as another home for reviews. Rather, it is intended as an alternative access point to critical opinion about Star Trek for people who find 'rec.arts.startrek.current' overwhelming or cannot access it for some reason. It is expected that many of the reviews posted to the list will also find their way (assumedly at their author's hands) onto 'r.a.s.current'. That, therefore, is where discussion should take place. The list is not for press releases or plot summaries without commentary. That's why we have 'rec.arts.startrek.info' (thank you, Jim!) The list is not for the redistribution of commercially published reviews, with or without permission. It is for the posting of comments for and by members of the various electronic networks that make up or exchange mail with The Internet. The list is not intended as a replacement for proposals to create a 'rec.arts.startrek.reviews' newsgroup. Rather, it exists to fill the gap some feel such a group would also fill until efforts to create such a newsgroup are successful. Neither, however, will that newsgroup necessarily mean the end of this list. TRICKLE-L@UNL.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@UNL.EDU Owner: Richard Mead Last Update: 7/20/94 Description: Trickle-L is a mail list hosted by the listserver at University of Nebraska - Lincoln.

TRNSPLNT@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU Owner: Dan Flasar Description: TRNSPLNT is a discussion list for organ transplant recipients and anyone else intested in the issues, experiences and realities of living with an organ trasplant. Over the last 30 years, the number of transplants performed each year has grown steadily in both absolute numbers and type of organs transplanted. Though there are hospital, clinical and pharmaceutical industry-sponsored newsletters, there are few, if any, completely independent discussion forums for those who have experienced this oftentimes dramaticaly effective therapy. There are many life issues for the transplant patient that are simply not covered in medical literature or by medical personnel. TRNSPLNT will provide a way for members to share information on such things as as travel, both domestic and abroad, how to deal with a compromised immune system, stories about transplant experiences, and anything that the members feel is worth discussing. Archives of TRNSPLNT postings can be listed by sending an "INDEX TRNSPLNT" command to LISTSERV@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU. NOTE: This is NOT a medical forum! Though advice may be offered, you should, as with any medical issue, check with your physician before you accept anything said in this forum as a basis for doing anything that might affect your physical condition!

Wadlow Description: The purpose of this mailing list is to discuss and promote self-sufficiency in everyday life in many forms. This includes but is not limited to basic needs such as food, shelter, health, and safety. A unique aspect of this list, however, unlike many others, is that we will concentrate on the city and urban/semi-urbs applications of traditional self-sufficiency technology. Thus, discussions on raising fish in a small backyard pool or in a large aquarium instead of in cage-culture rafts on a farm pond; raising veggies and some small-tree fruits in containers on the patio or under grow-lights at work (a ready source of fluorescent fixtures for most of us!) instead of in a 20 x 40 garden plot "out back". Certainly folks in a more suburban setting (lucky them!) will find much of the "urbanites" content useful, but the list is here first and foremost for those of us out here in the Concrete Jungle, for whatever reason. Some of us, like myself, are here using the city's resources to learn before setting off for the country or the 'burbs, some are stuck in pay-our-debts jobs here, and some just like the active city environment of places like Harvard Square or Pike's Place. But even though we rent our dwellings and have a postage-stamp size yard, or none at all, we can still get into doing for ourselves in some of the ways our bucolic buddies do. Send requests to be added directly to the subscription address and include "urbanites-request" in your subject line. USENET-ORACLE Subscription Address: ORACLE-ADMIN@CS.INDIANA.EDU Owner: Steve Kinzler Last Update: 8/22/94 Description: An active, cooperative effort for creative humor.

UTS-L@VM.GMD.DE Subscription Address: LISTSERV@VM.GMD.DE Owner: Doug Sewell Description: Mailing list for discussion of Amdahl's UTS/580 implementation of Unix and for software running in the UTS environment. Some potential topics for discussion: porting software, integrating with bitnet, internet, and servers, requests for help, using UTS-specific features, hardware issues, and anything else that's UTS-related. Discussion should be limited to the UTS environment (under VM or native), so this list does not replace info-unix, unix-wiz, aix-l, or any other mailing list. Postings not specific to UTS should be posted to one of those lists, instead. The list is gatewayed to the newsgroup bit.listserv.uts-l. The discussion is not presently moderated, although if message traffic warrants, it may be in the future. All are free to post to the list. To help keep the noise down to a reasonable level, we would appreciate if you would contact your site's UTS system administrator (aka "unix guru") for help on your question, before you send it out to everyone. A monthly notebook of all discussions will be kept online, in files named UTS-L LOGYYMM (UTS-L LOG9001, for example) on the Listserv. To retrieve a notebook, send e-mail or an interactive message to Listserv with a message text/body of GET UTS-L LOGYYMM. Listserv database services are also available - send INFO DATABASE to the list-server for more information.

Electronic conferencing, mail, and the paradigms they encourage are something that most members of this list have a growing familiarity with. These are tools which are already having an impact more profound than the other major influence on human religion and politics; the printing press. The effects these tools can have on an organization are manyfold; better, cheaper, more effective communications; improved dynamics for far-flung groups; and insight into the processes that make up even non-electronic communications.

VIRUS-L%TRITU.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@CC.ITU.EDU.TR Owner: Kenneth R. van Wyk Description: Virus-L is a forum specifically for the discussion of computer virus experiences, protection software, and other virus related topics. The list is currently open to the public and is a non-digest format list. Readers who prefer digest format lists should periodically read the public back logs of submissions, available from the submission address. Archives are available, as is a file called DIRTY DOZEN which lists a number of viruses, trojan horses, and pirated programs for the IBM PC. All submissions to VIRUS-L are stored in weekly log files which can be downloaded by any user on (or off) the mailing list. There is also a small archive of some of the public anti-virus programs which are currently available. This archive, too, can be accessed by any user. All of this is handled automatically by the LISTSERV. To find out what files are available on the LISTSERV, send mail to the subscription address saying "INDEX VIRUS-L". Note that filenames/extensions are separated by a space, and not by a period. Once you've decided which file(s) you want, send mail to LISTSERV saying "GET filename filetype". For example, GET VIRUS-L LOG8804 would get the file called VIRUS-L LOG8804 (which happens to be the monthly log of all messages sent to VIRUS-L during April, 1988). Note that, starting June 6, 1988, the logs are weekly. The new file format is VIRUS-L LOGyymmx where yy is the year (88, 89, etc.), mm is the month, and x is the week (A, B, etc.). Readers who prefer digest format lists should read the weekly logs and sign off of the list itself.

VMVIRUS%PCCVM.BITNET@CMSA.BERKELEY.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV%PCCVM.BITNET@CMSA.BERKELEY.EDU Owner: R N Hathhorn Description: This list has been established to act as a clearing house / archival location for comments and information concerning VM viruses and worms. The logs are public and members' comments well be freely available to the network community. The list owner also stores samples of source, object, and executable code for examination by selected persons. Commonly these files will only be available to NADs and other selected interested parties. Application may be made for code samples. Userid authenticity will be verified prior to dispersal of infectious programs. Be aware that a posting to this list will automatically be forwarded to VIRUS-L. So far the VM community has been spared many of the problems that currently plague the PC, MAC and Unix worlds. Let us hope that it remains that way. This archive is intended as a step in the direction to halt the spread of such malicious programming. While the name VMVIRUS implies a limitation to the VM environment, this list is open to comments by MVS and VSE users also. The list owner urges VM, MVS, and VSE sites to send samples of infectious code for storage. The following rules MUST be adhered to in the transmission of potentially harmful programs. 1) Send notification to the list owner prior to transmission. 2) De-activate the code if possible 3) Transmit the code to SECURE@PCCVM 4) Do not include code in a 'mail-gram' This site maintains a 'filter' for known infectious materials, hence the required pre-transmission notification. Let all work together to restore the 'clean' computing environment that we used to have and to assist in the eradication / prosecution of offenders.

This list is unmoderated, but don't forget that you are a guest on the list and any people who abuse the freedom of speech with torrents of inflammatory remarks will be removed from the list. The overall goal is to have a constructive and thoughtful discussion on world government. You must subscribe to the list before submitting articles. If you are not on the subscription list, submissions will be automatically rejected. A digest version of the discussion group is available at "worldgov-d": Send a message to "worldgov-d-request@tomahawk.welch.jhu.edu" Note: If you join the digest form of the list, please make sure that you send any comments/reply/followup to the complete list at "worldgov@tomahawk.welch.jhu.edu"; the digest should automatically pick it up--however, the complete list won't see traffic generated in the digest "worldgov-d" (it basically should serve as just a summary of the "worldgov" list). I plan for the digest to be sent about every 3 days. If you are absolutely against the thought of world government, freedom and unity for all; then this list is not for you. If you are not sure what you think and have an open mind about it, maybe it is.... The anonymous FTP archive is available on tomahawk.welch.jhu.edu.

WWWORDER@EINET.NET Subscription Address: LISTPROC@EINET.NET Owner: Glenn Fleishman Description: World-Wide Web Order Forms mailing list. This list was started to discuss the issue of creating catalogs in World-Wide Web format from which orders may be placed. Someone browsing a WWW database of items should be able to tag those items on the pages on which they see them and a create a running list. Since WWW is modeless, and there's no particular concept of a session, some imposed method of tagging that user and their entries must be used to identify an individual and a session. The user selects items to purchase or otherwise group from various HTML pages. At any time, they can leap to an order form or summary document that shows everything that they have chosen so far. When their selections are complete--they must choose some arbitrary stopping point, much like filling in a paper order form in a catalog--they submit this form. The HTTP server should be able to compile all the tagged items into an order form and send it back in HTML form to the user. Further, some lookup through an external database--possibly SQL based--should return values for each item if at all possible. In the case of a catalog with orderable items, the server should receive the completed form and reply with a filled out form showing unit prices, totals, shipping, and other costs. They could then confirm the order and the total. Some of this is currently possible via CGI and Forms, but it's not necessarily implemented anywhere. Because WWW is inherently non-interactive as well as modeless, it's not easy to prompt for information that's required without a lot of back and forth. Possibly the answer is customized HTML browsers that can support order forms inherently and have true interactivity (but not modes). Possibly, it's all feasible using the existing and burgeoning technology. Also of interest to the subscribers of this list is the related subject of how an order can be processed, including authentification of users and credit card information.

Y-RIGHTS@SJUVM.STJOHNS.EDU Subscription Address: LISTSERV@SJUVM.STJOHNS.EDU Owner: Kenneth Udut Last Update: 1/28/92 Description: As the title suggests, this list is on the discussion of the rights of kids and teenagers (called Y-Rights for "Youth Rights", or "Youngster's Rights" or "Why Rights?" -- whichever strikes your fancy). It's a very open list, and everyone is welcome to participate on it, whether you are a teacher, a professional, a student, or a kid or teenager yourself. What do I mean when I say "Children's Rights"? Well, I don't necessarily mean the rights for adults to "protect" children, because that "right" seems to be misused and misguided to ends that are, oftentimes, tragic, even with the 'best' intentions. That, of course, is open for discussion on this list, and I'm certain that it will come up at some point. In my ever changing view of rights for those under the `age of majority' (which is 18 or 21 in the United States, depending on how you view it, and different in other countries), I am looking more for changes in our judicial system, educational system, and our society, as a whole, to view youth as Human Beings first and foremost, before concerning themselves with the `correct manners to treat, mold and shape a child', as if s/he is just a ball of clay, and not a human being.
