    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
    [e-mail], or followup to an existing message.

    e.g.
    To: [e-mail]
    Subject: corpus callsosum

    To ask a METAQUESTION, send it to [e-mail].
    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.

    Purpose: This list is under the aegis of l'Alliance Monarchists
    and is dedicated to promoting the cause of traditional monarchy
    and the Counter Revolution.  We believe in government based on
    natural law principles, decentralization, subsidiarity, an economy
    based on the principles of distributive justice, and the defense of
    traditional Western values.

    We believe in a Europe, United, Traditional, and Free from the
    Atlantic to the Urals, but we oppose the centralizing bureaucracy
    of the Maastricht treaty.  While we are based in the US, we are
    affiliated with L'Alliance pour la maintenance de la France en Europe,
    and we have members, as well as fraternal relations with the monarchist
    organizations, in most Western European countries.

    We work for the strengthening of existing monarchies, the restoration
    in those countries with a monarchist tradition, and the building up
    of an infrastructure appropriate to the instuaration of monarchy in
    those countries without a living monarchist tradition.

dark-shadows
    Contact: [e-mail] (Bernie Roehl)

    Purpose: Dark Shadows was a daily soap opera that ran on ABC in
    the late sixties (ending in 1971).  It had a Gothic feel to it,
    and featured storylines involving witchcraft, vampires, werewolves
    and the supernatural.  It was (appropriately enough) "brought back
    from the dead" by NBC for a single season last year. It also
    spawned two feature films, a series of paperback novels, and lots
    more; the series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
    There are a number of international fan clubs for the series, but
    so far there has been no newsgroup or (electronic) mailling list
    devoted to it.  Now there is.
