No part of it may be reproduced in any form, 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. 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. 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. This list is archived and available by anonymous ftp at rtfm.mit.edu under the directory /pub/usenet/news.answers/mail/mailing-lists. 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 address and a brief description of the 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.

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> America Contact: subscribe@xamiga.linet.org Purpose: For people interested in how the United States is dealing with foreign trade policies, congressional status, and other inside information about the government that is freely distributable.

AMOS Contact: subscribe@xamiga.linet.org Purpose: For the AMOS programming language on Amiga computers. Features source, bug reports, and help from users around the world, but mainly European users.

Arlist Contact: arlist-request@psych.psy.uq.oz.au (Bob Dick) Purpose: Arlist is an open unmoderated mailing list to provide a forum for discussing action research and its use in a variety of disciplines and situations. As its name implies, action research is often a suitable research paradigm when both action outcomes and research outcomes are required. It is usually (but perhaps not always) cyclic, participative, and qualitative. Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to) -- o philosophical and methodological issues in action research o specific action research methodologies and methods o the use of action research for evaluation o actual case studies of action research o the use of action research methodologies for thesis research o increasing the rigour of action research To subscribe email a message to arlist-request@psych.psy.uq.oz.au with the subject arlist subscribe and the message subscribe arlist your-name your_email_address Materials are not presently archived, but will be eventually.

Consumers and researches alike are facing new questions concerning the human animals' treatment of the rest of the animal kingdom. The purpose of this list is to provide students, researchers, and activists, a forum for discussing issues like: Animal Rights Animal Liberation Consumer Product Testing Cruelty-free products Vivasection/Dissection Medical Testing Animals in Laboratories Research using Animals Hunting/Trapping/Fishing Animals in Entertainment Factory Farming Fur Ecology Environmental Protection Vegetarianism Vegan lifestyles Christian Perspectives Other Perspecitives Currently, no resources are available for archiving this list. artist-users Contact: artist-users-request@uicc.com (Jeff Putsch) Purpose: Discussion group for users and potential users of the software tools from Cadence Design Systems.
