- Quite a while ago (on the order of years), I saw a "Canonical List of LISTS"
- which was a pointer to different holders of lists of related jokes from
- rec.humor*.
-
- Since I have not seen it for quite some time, I thought that I would start
- one up again.
-
- What I would like to do is a list with email addresses for those people
- who hold Canonical Lists, such as blond jokes, dead baby jokes, the ascii
- cow guide, accountant jokes, to do list, ...
-
- The format will be:
-
- List Name Email Address Of Holder Posting Frequency
- ========================================================================
- List of LISTS Tim.Nelson@Canada.NCR.CA monthly
- Dead Baby Tim.Nelson@Canada.NCR.CA bi-monthly
- Cow Guide someone out there irregular
- To Do rec.humor random
- Purity Test someone out there irregular
- Xmas rec.humor random
-
- * "someone out there" means a holder does exist, I just don't know
- who it is.
- "irregular" means just that. The holder is not posting regularly.
- "rec.humor" means that a list exists, but no one is controlling it.
- "random" is just that. This is usually associated with "rec.humor".
-
-
-
- So, I would appreciate it if anyone out there who is a holder of a list
- please let me know, so that I can build a list of lists.
-
- The idea will be to have only one person putting together all related jokes
- and thus avoid some of the confusion which builds here every year, especially
- when school is back in January and September.
-
- Maybe we can also use this list to cut down on the number of people who
- continually post messages asking for a list to be sent to them. Instead
- they can just check my list, then watch for the appropriate interval.
-
- A holder of a list should be willing to update the list on a regular basis
- with items which are relevant to the list, and are posted, or sent via
- email to the holder. For this reason, you may want to set up a filter
- to filter out all items related to your list, and put them into a related
- mailbox.
-
- Please let me know who you are, so that I can get this list posted in the
- first week of each month.
-
- My first posting will be January 5, 1993, into rec.humor and rec.humor.d.
-
- Thanx
