Intro
-----
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.

The list does not include any of the many hundreds of lists that are
available through various Bitnet ListServ sites.  

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.

In your request to join a list, please include a signature or some
other copy of your mailing address.  DO NOT RELY on your "From:" mail
header arriving unmangled or even vaguely representing what you think
your prefered address is.

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 (192.33.33.22) in the file "netinfo/interest-groups".
To add or delete an entry to that list, mail to
interest-groups-request@nisc.sri.com.

If you have a list that you want added to this posting, send a request
to arielle@taronga.com.

    Values (CFV).  It is our understanding that they have no
    intention of stopping their hate campaign here; they intended
    to push for legislation with a stronger discriminatory flavor
    here in Colorado and surrounding states.

    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.

    disseminating information so that those people who are on the
    mailing list but who do not have access to news can benefit
    from the discussion/information.

    scientists are essential to stimulating or provoking new ideas.  As
    teachers and researchers, we can find the demands of our profession
    extensive, which may lead to a reduction in our ability to keep
    abreast of new data and changes in theories.  Sometimes,

    HOW TO USE THE LIST

    Please follow these examples exactly, so that my software works.

    To SUBSCRIBE, send mail like this:

    	To: cogneuro-request@ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov
	Subject: cogneuro: subscribe

    To UNSUBSCRIBE, send mail like this:

 	To: cogneuro-request@ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov
	Subject: cogneuro: unsubscribe

    You don't need to put anything in the body of the message.  There
    will be no automatic confirmation, but you might get a note from me.

    To CHANGE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS (also very polite to do if you know
    that your MACHINE WILL GO DOWN for a while, or in case you LEAVE
    THE NET) simply unsubscribe from your old address and resubscribe
    from your new address.  This prevents error messages and prevents
    me from having to verify your address manually.

    To POST (send a message to everybody on the list), send mail to
    cogneuro@ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov, or followup to an existing message.

    e.g.
	To: cogneuro@ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov
	Subject: corpus callsosum

    To ask a METAQUESTION, send it to cogneuro-request@ptolemy.arc.
    nasa.gov.  Suggestions for improving this announcement or the
    list are welcome.

    GUIDELINES

    The language of the list is English.

    The list is meant to be low in volume and high in s/n ratio.

    Controversy and speculation are welcome, as are lack of 
    controversy and rigor.  Since the emphasis is scientific and 
    academic, participants are expected to be extremely tolerant of
    other participants' opinions and choice of words.  Since cogneuro
    is such a huge field, submission shsouldn't be too off-topic or 
    otherwise not essentially scientific or academic.

    The list is initally open to anybody who is interested.  Although
    I don't expect ever to need to exercise it, I reserve the right
    to remove anybody from the list if there are problems.  I want to
    keep a spirit of free exchange of cognitive neuroscience.

    Other than this, the list is moderated and informal.

    and we have members, as well as fraternal relations with the monarchist
    organizations, in most Western European countries.

    We work for the strengthening of existing monarchies, the restoration
    in those countries with a monarchist tradition, and the building up
    of an infrastructure appropriate to the instuaration of monarchy in
    those countries without a living monarchist tradition.
