Lines: 1573 Approved: spaf@cs.purdue.EDU Supersedes: <7420@medusa.cs.purdue.edu> Original-from: chuq@apple.COM (Chuq Von Rospach) [Most recent change: 3 Sep 1989 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] This is a list of mailing lists available primarily on 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. Rich Zellich (zellich@nic.ddn.mil) maintains a list of mailing lists that exist primarily on the Arpanet/Milnet. His list overlaps this one in a few places, but the lists are largely distinct. A copy of his list may be obtained by sending mail to "service@nic.ddn.mil" with the text "netinfo interest-groups.txt" in the "Subject:" field. The list will be broken into sections and mailed back. If you have a list that you want added to this posting or are interested in starting a list but don't know how, drop me a note at spaf@purdue.edu Groups listed in this posting 12step folk-dancing objc 386users framers objectivism 3D funky-music objectivism-philosophy aeronautics game-design ocean.policy aids gnu-manual ODA aiuan Gouldbugs offroad algeria-net handicap origami Alspa hang-gliding OtherRealms alternates herpetology other-voices amiga-forth homebrew pdp8-lovers AmigaUUCP horse pipes animal-rights hunters posix-ada anneal impulse pro-video argproc info-386ix rc-cars att-pc+ info-3b2 rc-flying backstreets info-aids reflections bears info-altos sappho beebox info-encore sca big-DB info-futures scribe british-cars info-gnu security cavers info-high-audio silicon-compilers CD-forum info-sparc sil-info chalkhills info-tahoe smiths-fans chem-talk irclist S-news christian isi space-activists C-IBM-370 islam supercomputers cisco iti151 sysops climbing its-a-crime t3 clu jewish tandy4k CoCo killifish tartan-c compress kites tcp-group comp-visualization lang-lucid thicva cryonics lasnet towers CTIX-users lds transputer ctree Linda traveller cyberpunkRPG Logo ucsd-empire drwho-spoilers MacMASH Unisys Dual-personalities Mactivists UNITEX eastender MacWorkers unix-pc-net eclipse martial-arts usml EMS medphys venezuela ensembles men VMEbus esperanto military war-worlds ethology mtxinu-users whitewater feminists musicals wildnet ferrets mustangs windsurfing Fiction-Writers Network-audio-bits x-ada film-makers newlists Yiddish fire NFS z-cars firearms ntp zilog f-mac nucmed Specific Information on Groups 12step Contact: suhre@trwrb.dsd.trw.com (Maurice Suhre) Purpose: To discuss/share experiences about 12 step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Alanon, ACA, etc. Questions will also be answered. 386users Contact: 386users-request@udel.edu (William Davidsen, Jr.) Purpose: Topics are 80386 based computers, and all hardware and software which is either 386 specific or which has special interest on the 386. 3d Contact: 3d-request@bfmny0.uu.net (Tom Neff) Purpose: Discussion of 3-D (stereo) photography.
