I apologize for the non-dead related content, but some of you may find some
interest in the following information


In article <1dpm4iINNsnm@usenet.INS.CWRU.Edu> bz206@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Joseph Hack) writes:

How someone who is writing from the Clevland Freenet could suggest the
world would be no worse off without this net is beyond me (I assume you have
taken the time to poke around and find out what the Freenet offers).  Perhaps 
you are refering to r.m.gdead, but since you said net, I'm assuming internet.

So, without further comment, I offer the following:

+++++
          * SPECIAL INTERNET CONNECTIONS:    Last Update: 11/3/92 *
          * Compiled By:  Scott Yanoff -  yanoff@csd4.csd.uwm.edu *
* A + by an entry designates new entries/changes to the list since last update *

* Finger yanoff@csd4.csd.uwm.edu to find ways to receive this list!

* For those interested, there is a new book out called
  "The Whole Internet" by Ed Krol.  As far as I know, this is the first
  book to make a reference to this list, which by the way celebrates it's
  one year anniversay this month!  :-)  Anyway, I highly recommend this book
  to anyone interested in learning more about the Internet, and be sure to 
  look for me on page 325!! :) :)

Information Sources:  the Internet and Computer-Mediated Communication 
========================================================================
Compiled by John December (decemj@rpi.edu), Release 1.6, 01 Sep 92
Additions/comments welcome.  This document or updates are available via 
anonymous ftp.  Host: ftp.rpi.edu, file: pub/communications/internet-cmc
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PURPOSE:  to list pointers to information describing the Internet, 
        computer networks, and issues related to computer-mediated 
        communication (CMC).  Topics of interest include the technical, 
        social, cognitive, and psychological aspects of CMC.
AUDIENCE:  this file is useful for those getting started in understanding
        the Internet and CMC; it compactly summarizes sources of 
        information for those who are already exploring these issues.
ASSUMPTIONS:  to access many information sources listed here you must 
        have access to and know how to use anonymous ftp, email, or 
        USENET newsgroups.  Some files are in TeX or PostScript format.
NOTE:   Please respect ftp and mail list privileges.  (See Net 
        Etiquette Guide, listed below.)  Even though I periodically
        check this information, it changes quickly.  If you know of 
        any items this list which are not available, let me know, and 
        I will delete it from this list.  Please respect a site that 
        may no longer have a document available for anonymous ftp. 
        Also, for various reasons, you might not be able to reach some 
        documents or services.  Please be patient with and respectful of 
        the owners/administrators of the machines on which this 
        information is placed.
