[comp.society.futures] ADMINISTRIVIA

bzs@BU-CS.BU.EDU (Barry Shein) (10/25/87)

I've gotten dozens of requests from people to delete direct mailing
because they do in fact get INFO-FUTURES through normal USENET routes
as comp.society.futures. This is a good thing.

Note that it usually takes me a few days (the weekend, like today) to
get to these matters, especially when they pour in like this. I notice
some people seem to be sending me two requests to unsubscribe per day
as if they're getting frustrated. A little patience and understanding
please (see what you did! I could have been deleting you instead of
typing in this message :-)

I know, there's no way to know if I received your message (I do reply
as I delete tho so you'll get a "receipt"), but give it a few days. No
big deal, just seems like a waste.

Thank you.

bzs@MULTIMAX.ENCORE.COM (Barry Shein) (10/21/88)

[NOTE: THIS WILL PROBABLY GET FORWARDED TO THE USENET LIST
COMP.SOCIETY.FUTURES WHERE IT CAN BE SAFELY IGNORED, THIS IS ALL FOR
THE MAILING LIST HALF OF THE COMMUNITY]

Well, things look pretty good, if you know of any problems please send
them to me (bzs@encore.com).

The INFO-FUTURES mailing list has now been moved from BU-CS.BU.EDU to
ENCORE.COM (along with me.) Those that aren't quite up on name servers
may have to use MULTIMAX.ARPA, here's the whole story:

(btw, ENCORE.COM is an Encore Multimax with 8 CPUs/56MB running a
parallelized MACH, in case you're curious.)

ARPA:

	INFO-FUTURES@ENCORE.COM		(preferred address)
	INFO-FUTURES@MULTIMAX.ARPA	(same machine, in case you get
					 a host unknown for ENCORE.COM)

UUCP:
	{bu-cs,decvax,necntc,talcott}!encore!info-futures

BITNET:

	Use the ARPA address through your recommended BIT/ARPA
	gateway (eg. info-futures%encore.com@cunyvm.cuny.edu).

CSNET:
	ARPA address should work, or via
	INFO-FUTURES%ENCORE.COM@RELAY.CS.NET

REMEMBER that requests to be dropped/added/changed go to
INFO-FUTURES-REQUEST (same addressing), not the whole list.

There remains an alias at BU-CS.BU.EDU which will forward here
but obviously you should stop using it immediately.

I'll be putting up the archives for anonymous FTP soon, they may still
be available on BU-IT.BU.EDU.

I'll get the list of lists updated and make sure USENET forwarding
gets changed properly.

To get to me directly:

	BZS@ENCORE.COM		(same basic addressing as above)
	...encore!bzs		(etc etc etc)


WELCOME YET AGAIN TO INFO-FUTURES!!
