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 preferred address is.
If you have a list that you want added to this posting, send a request
to arielle@taronga.com.

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.

discriminatory amendment.

implications and issues surrounding the passing of amendment 2.

of efficient communication network using this mailing list.

HOW TO USE THE LIST
Please follow these examples exactly, so that my software works.
To SUBSCRIBE, send mail like this:

You don't need to put anything in the body of the message. There
will be no automatic confirmation, but you might get a note from me.
To CHANGE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS (also very polite to do if you know
that your MACHINE WILL GO DOWN for a while, or in case you LEAVE
THE NET) simply unsubscribe from your old address and resubscribe
from your new address. This prevents error messages and prevents
me from having to verify your address manually.
To POST (send a message to everybody on the list), send mail to
cogneuro@ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov, or followup to an existing message.
e.g.
To: cogneuro@ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov
Subject: corpus callsosum
To ask a METAQUESTION, send it to cogneuro-request@ptolemy.arc.
nasa.gov. Suggestions for improving this announcement or the
list are welcome.
GUIDELINES
The language of the list is English.
The list is meant to be low in volume and high in s/n ratio.
Controversy and speculation are welcome, as are lack of
controversy and rigor. Since the emphasis is scientific and
academic, participants are expected to be extremely tolerant of
other participants' opinions and choice of words. Since cogneuro
is such a huge field, submission shsouldn't be too off-topic or
otherwise not essentially scientific or academic.
The list is initally open to anybody who is interested. Although
I don't expect ever to need to exercise it, I reserve the right
to remove anybody from the list if there are problems. I want to
keep a spirit of free exchange of cognitive neuroscience.
Other than this, the list is moderated and informal.

related to managing Internet mailing lists, including (but not
limited to) software, methods, mechanisms, techniques, and
policies.
I've created the list as "List-Managers@GreatCircle.COM".
That address is a direct mail relector: all messages sent to
that address are immediately forwarded to the list. There is a
digestified version of the list available as "List-Managers-
Digest@GreatCircle.COM". The digestified version has exactly
the same messages as the direct version; the messages are
simply bundled into digests daily (or more frequently, if
traffic warrants). Both lists are unmoderated.
To join the List-Mangers mailing list, send the command
subscribe list-managers
in the body of a message to "Majordomo@GreatCircle.COM". If
you want to subscribe something other than the account the
mail is coming from, such a a local redistribution list, then
append that address to the "subscribe" command; for example,
to subscribe "local-list-managers":
subscribe list-managers local-list-managers@your.domain.net
To subscribe to the digestified version, substitute "list-
managers-digest" for "list-managers" in the examples above.
