As per Carlos' request, I'm reposting the announcement for the 
rec.sport.soccer mailing list. This idea was conceived by Walter
Garcia-Fontes and myself, in order to provide soccer fans who do not
have access to Usenet or r.s.s at their site, a chance to read and
reply to articles which appear on this newsgroup. So, if you are
forwarding articles to a friend somewhere who does not have Usenet
access, your friend might consider subscribing to this list...


Mailing List for Rec.Sport.Soccer
=================================

This mailing list connects the Usenet newsgroup rec.sport.soccer to 
users without Usenet access. Usenet is a collection of bulletin boards
connected through the Internet.

The operation of the mailing list is very simple: every article posted
to rec.sport.soccer is distributed to the mailing list. To subscribe
to this service send a message to:

Internet:   marco@thunder.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
Bitnet:     marco%thunder.mcrcim.mcgill.edu@cunyvm
Uunet:      uunet!thunder.mcrcim.mcgill.edu!marco

The subscription implies receiving all articles sent to rec.sport.soccer.
Users of this service should take into account that they will receive 30
to 50 email messages related to rec.sport.soccer daily, some of them 
probably not of their interest. If the subscriber is a soccer fanatic,
as most of the subscribers of rec.sport.soccer are, this shouldn't be a
problem.

The subscriber is responsible for making sure that mail sent to his/her
address does not bounce back to the sender. Two or three bounces are reason
enough for de-subscription. Bounces go back usually to the above addresses,
and not to the sender, nor to the list, nor to they bounce to
rec.sport.soccer.

Mailing list subscribers can not only read articles posted to
rec.sport.soccer, but can post articles as well as well as replying
to the articles posted by others. To post an article to rec.sport.soccer
through e-mail, send a email message to:

Internet:  rec-sport-soccer@cs.utexas.edu
Bitnet:    rec-sport-soccer%ucbvax.utexas.edu@cunyvm

This is a service which is graciously offered by the University of Texas.

Another e-mail to usenet gateway also exists at Berkeley, but some
users have reported it to be flaky . Your mileage may vary. The
address of this site is:

rec-sport-soccer@ucbvax.berkeley.edu

Messages propagate all around the world, so when sending a message to 
the bulletin board, a subscriber should have in mind the same question 
that users with Usenet access get when posting a message:

   "This program posts news to thousands of machines throughout the entire
    civilized world.  Your message will cost the net hundreds if not thousands
    of dollars to send everywhere. Please be sure you know what you are doing.
    Are you absolutely sure that you want to do this?"

This means that an article sent to rec.sport.soccer should be as brief as
possible and should be of general interest to the community. Local or personal
information can be better directed through direct e-mail to the interested
parties. The appropriate contents for articles can be inferred from reading
the list.

When following up or replying an old article received through the mailing
list, the subscriber is responsible for editing the article properly;
removing all portions of the original article which are not relevant or
not needed in the reply. Some of the articles received from the newsgroup
will give you an indication of the proper ways of editing and commenting
the articles of others...
