PROG-PUBS is a mailing list for people interested in progressive
campus and/or student publications. This is a canned message
describing the list and some of the services associated with it.
PROG-PUBS was created to facilitate and encourage communication among
folks interested in and active with the "alternative student press"
movement. Participation in PROG-PUBS is confidential; your name will not
be broadcast indiscriminately around the network. In fact, you can "listen
in" to the traffic on the mailing list without anybody except the list
manager knowing who you are. If you post a message to PROG-PUBS, of course,
your login name will automatically be attached to it.
The manager of PROG-PUBS also maintains an on-line list of currently-active
progressive campus publications. To get a copy of this list, or to add your
publication to it, contact rjh1@midway.uchicago.edu.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The service addresses for PROG-PUBS, to which questions about the mailing
list itself and requests to be added to or deleted from it should be directed,
are:
Internet: Prog-Pubs-Request@fuggles.acc.Virginia.EDU
Prog-Pubs-Request%fuggles.acc.Virginia.EDU@uvaarpa.Virginia.EDU
BITNET: PPub-Req@VIRGINIA
UUCP: ...!uunet!virginia!prog-pubs-request
The shorter names for the BITNET addresses are for those BITNET sites
which have yet to install software (BSMTP) to cope with the 8-character
limit on the user part (and the host part, for that matter). If you're
on BITNET but you think you might be able to use one of the Internet
addresses, I think that would be preferable.
The alternate Internet addresses are for those sites which lack adequate
nameserver support. If your mail to fuggles bounces, try the other
address.
