Mailing lists are like extended conversations around a coffeepot with folks of similar interests.
Before subscribing to a mailing list, I urge you to learn about the special etiquette associated with mailing lists. They are a distinctive form of communication and require special rules. If you wish to not make a fool of yourself, please read the netiquette pages by J.D. Reedy or the pages here . The aim is to have open discussion on all aspects of our faith, remembering that on many matters members may legitimately hold diverse views. The list tries to hold all these people in a pastorally sensitive way, and to offer pastoral, prayerful and practical support and guidance when needed, and also to have scholarly and other discussion.
