Mailing Lists
A mailing list is (usually) a group of people who
exchange e-mail about a subject that interests them. That's really all there is to it--if
you join a mailing list about a subject you like, you'll start getting lots of e-mail on
the subject, and you'll meet people. For more information on mailing lists visit Liszt.
