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 If the version you have is more than one month old, then it is obsolete.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 arielle@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 solely for proposing and critiquing alternative institutions for various walks of life. Alternative ways to run conversations, countries, households, markets, offices, romances, schools, etc. are all fair game. 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. Amazons International Contact: amazons-request@math.uio.no (Thomas Gramstad) Purpose: Amazons International is an electronic digest newsletter for and about Amazons (physically and psychologically strong assertive women who are not afraid to break free from traditional ideas about gender roles, femininity and the female physique) and their friends and lovers. Amazons International is dedicated to the image of the female hero in fiction and in fact, as it is 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: Majordomo@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: Majordomo@cs.colorado.edu where the body of the message is: subscribe <listname> American Hockey League Contact: ahl-news-request@andrew.cmu.edu Purpose: For people interested in discussing and following the American Hockey League.
