A list of Usenet newsgroups and Internet mailing lists and other resources of

Use any mailreader, such as elm, pine, eudora, etc., to participate in
mailing lists. To subscribe, try mailing to [listname]-request@[address].
Failing that, try listserv@[address], majordomo@[address],
listserver@[address], listproc@[address], and finally
owner-[listname]@address or [listname]-owner@[address]. Never send
subscribe requests to the list itself; this does nothing but irritate people.
The subscribe command is usually SUBSCRIBE [listname] [your first name]
[your last name]; failing that, try SUBSCRIBE [listname], SUBSCRIBE
[listname] [your email address], SUBSCRIBE [your email address] [listname].
If all else fails, try replacing "SUBSCRIBE" with "ADD", "JOIN" or "SUB".
If you still can't get on the list, try sending "HELP" to one or more of
the addresses, putting the command on the subject line instead of in the
message body, and it you still can't get on this list, ask
postmaster@[address] for help. You can also send a note to all the
listserver authors you can find and ask them to cooperate with
other authors to standardize, before we all go crazy. ;)

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) was founded in July of 1990
to ensure that the principles embodied in the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights are protected as new communications technologies emerge.
Since its inception, EFF has worked to shape our nation's communications
infrastructure and the policies that govern it in order to maintain and
enhance First Amendment, privacy and other democratic values. We believe
that our overriding public goal must be the creation of Electronic
Democracy.
