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. Steven Bjork at the Network Information Systems Center maintains a list of mailing lists that exist primarily on the Internet. That list overlaps this one in a few places, but the lists are largely distinct. A copy of that list may be obtained by anonymous ftp from the site ftp.nisc.sri.com (192.33.33.53) in the file "netinfo/interest-groups". To add or delete an entry to that list, mail to bjork@nisc.sri.com. If you cannot ftp a copy of the list, and you are a CSnet subscriber, you can get a copy from the CSnet info-server; mail to cic@sh.cs.net for instructions. The list does not include any of the many hundreds of lists that are available through various Bitnet ListServ sites. 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 30something 386users 3D ABC aeronautics aids AIDS-stat algeria-net alife Alspa alternates animal-rights anneal antique-radios antiques AoN argentina argproc att-pc+ autox backstreets ballroom bears Between-the-lines big-DB biosym blackbird BMW brasil bread british-cars C-IBM-370 ca-firearms cabot Cards cavers cdforum chalkhills chem-eng chem-talk christian cisco clu CoCo comix commune compress cryonics ctree CUSSNET cyberpunkRPG CZ decstation-managers derby DGRD dirt-users Donosy drwho-spoilers Dual-personalities eastender eclipse ecuador edge empire-list emtex-user ensembles Episcopal esperanto ethology euro-moto f-mac feminists ferrets Fiction-Writers film-makers firearms flamingo flashlife Flat-Fields folk-dancing fourd framers fsuucp funky-music gamedesign-philo gnu-manual Gouldbugs handicap hang-gliding health-ed hey-joe homebrew honda horse hyperami IBDlist iclinfo impulse info-aids info-altos info-ccc info-encore info-futures info-gnu info-high-audio info-ingres info-prime info-soar info-solbourne info-sparc info-tahoe info-vm info-vw informix-list irclist islam italian-cars iti151 J-Pop jewish joke-s jump-in-the-river khoros killifish kites lang-lucid lasnet lds LickVista Linda Logo lojban mac-security magic manchester martial-arts MasPar matlab mazda-list medphys men military mr2-interest mtxinu-users muscle-cars musicals mustangs mystery NA-Net NativeNet Ncube Network-audio-bits neuron newlists NewsCom ntp nucmed numeric-interest objc objectivism objectivism-philosophy ocean.policy ODA offroad oh-motss oracle orienteering origami OtherRealms pagan Papa pc532 pdp8-lovers Peru pharm picasso-users pipes porschephiles posix-ada posix-testing Prion PRL progress qn Quanta Queen rc-flying recovery REM rush S-news sappho sca SCO-list scoodt scribe security SFER-l sil-info SkillsBank smail3-users smail3-wizards smiths-fans sports-cards srv4-admin stardent-users stormcock sun-386i sun-managers sun-nets supercomputers sysops T-E-L t3 tadream tandy4k tartan-c tcad tcp-group tekumel testing-archive testing-research thicva think-c TolkLang torg towers transputer traveller turnabout uk-motss Unisys UPS-alumni uruguay usenet.hist usml venezuela VMEbus weights whitewater wildnet windsurfing x-ada XGKS yello Yes/ABWH Yiddish Z-cars zeppelin zilog 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.
