This is a semi-regular announcement of special interest group
mailing lists for the VNese community.

Back when we had Vietnet, and now with SCV, there was always the
problem of there being too many messages and people feeling lost
or frustrated at not being able to discuss things they are
interested in.  That is why a number of small mailing lists were
created to cater to these people.  I will give a short description
of each lists and then the instruction on how to join it.

These mailing lists are based at Saigon.COM, a machine in Sunnyvale
(near San Jose, California).  Sunnyvale is the heart of Sillicon
Valley, where it all started (the electronic/computer boom of the
70s and 80s).

You can also dialin to Saigon.COM directly by modem.  The dialup
phone number is 408-730-1092 (300 to 19200 baud).

The names of the lists and their email addresses are:

scv@Saigon.COM

	This is the SCV Relay gateway.  It allows those who can not
	access Usenet News to receive SCV through email.  To subscribe
	to it, send a message to scv-request@Saigon.COM with the subject
	of SIGN-ON.

apv@Saigon.COM

	This is the gateway between alt.politics.vietnamese and
	email.  For those of you who do not have access to the alt
	newsgroup, you can subscribe to this list.  To subscribe
	to it, send a message to apv-request@Saigon.COM with the
	subject of SIGN-ON.

vn-tech@Saigon.COM

	This is for technical discussions on such areas as software
	programming, hardware designs, technical supports (hw/sw).
	Oriented toward the Vietnamese engineers.  Discussions are
	in both English and Vietnamese.

vn-atnp@Saigon.COM

	This is A(n Tu.c No'i Phe't.  A mailing list for people to
	talk about whatever "No'i Phe't".  Let me warn you that the
	conversation can get rather racy, risque' at times.  Join it
	at your own discretion.  The only restriction I place on the
	list is no flame wars, no name callings, and so on.

vn-singles@Saigon.COM

	This is a list for the VNese singles, professionals or students.
	Although there are a number of married people in it.  The focus
	is on issues relating to the VNese singles life.  It is small
	and well focused on these kind of topics.

vn-sxnet@Saigon.COM

	This list was originally created because of the sexually
	explicit jokes and talks being posted to Vietnet.  Many
	people complained and flame wars started because of this.
	So the list was created as a place for people to post and
	share these kinds of jokes or stories/talks whatever they
	want.  Lately, a lot of these kind of conversation has
	migrated to vn-atnp.  So take your pick, which one you
	want.
