As on October 2000, more than 1400 people coming from around 100 countries have joined the mailing list which makes it the biggest mail list about spatial statistics. You should use instead the NEWS online form where you also can announce a product, a new web site or introduce a company. The announcements are put directly on the web. The mailing list operates entirely through electronic mail and there is no cost for subscription to, or use of, the list . As an example, a sociologist won't be interested in the best wavelengths to use for the monitoring of tropical vegetation or where to find related data sets.
Tolerance is one essential key of the success of the mailing list .
People making sarcastic comments on the discussions or even insulting other subscribers will immediately be kicked out of the list without warning and with no possibility to subscribe again. These days, the Internet has many people who think it's fun to subscribe their enemies' email address to many mailing lists. This has the effect of stuffing the victim's email box full of unwanted mail. While this makes a little more work for the honest subscribers, it prevents the bad guys from using our list to harass their victims. Sending a mail to the ai-geostats mailing list.
