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. 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" or "listserv" or the instructions explicitly say to send listserv 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 version. If the version you have is more than one month old, then it is obsolete. The latest version may always 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/~magnus/paml.html 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.

Skip the theory and just tell us your vision of how something could be different, and how that would work.

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.
