Subject: More "lists"
Others will undoubtedly add to the list that Ken Steele began. Certainly
a directory of "academic" lists in the humanities would be useful. I
cannot attest to the "credentials" of all the following lists. Any
comments on "quality" from HUMANISTs who subscribe to some of these?
BUDDHIST@JPNTOHOK Indian & Buddhist studies forum
HEGEL@VILLVM Hegel Society discussion list
IOUDAIOS@YORKVM1 1st century Judaism discussion forum
LORE@NDSUVM1 Folklore discussion list
PMC-TALK@NCSUVM Post-modern culture discussion list
PHILOSOP@YORKVM1 Philosophy discussion forum
WHIM@TAMVM1 Discussion list for humour studies
As previous postings have mentioned, there are vast numbers of
discussion lists out there. The LIST GLOBAL command gets you most
of them. These additional selections could have been expanded, but
I have left aside lists that are (to my knowledge) "peered" and
those whose subject for discussion remained obscure (as in
NSP-L@RPICICGE, Noble Savage Philosophers mailing list...).
Hope this helps.

I wish to suggest Anthro-l which is the general anthropology listserver.
Although it is not limited to humanistic subjects, it often includes
them. General areas of discussion are archaeology, cultural
anthropology, linguistic anthropology, physical anthropology and social
anthropology.
Thank you.

There is a facility called COMSERVE@RPIECS or @VM.ECS.RPI.EDU that re-
sponds to Mail (both) or interactive messages (just the former). In
particular, it allows for what they call HOTLINES which is similar to
the Listserv construct of lists. You join (subscribe) to a hotline and
then send/receive mail to/from the hotline just like Listserv.
Here are the current discussion groups (I used the command SHOW HOTLINES):
Names and Descriptions of Hotlines:
Name Description
Newsline Joining this special Hotline means that you will receive
Comserve's news bulletins automatically when they are
issued. New news bulletins are normally issued when files
are added to the database or when the system is changed or
enhanced. The news bulletin is ordinarily sent you when
you send a command to Comserve. By joining Newsline, you
will receive the news bulletins automatically, that is,
without having to send a command to Comserve. Unlike the
other Hotlines, Newsline is a one-way channel; those who
join Newsline should not themselves send anything to this
Hotline.
CommJobs The CommJobs Hotline is for distribution of announcements
of academic or industry positions for those in
communication studies. Once you have joined CommJobs, you
will automatically receive copies of position
announcements sent over this Hotline. If you would like
to distribute a position announcement over CommJobs, send
it in computer mail to the address of Comserve's editorial
staff -- Support@Rpiecs. Your announcement will be
redistributed over CommJobs within a short period of time.
Comserve's staff will also distribute announcements on
paper that are received through the US mail; however,
there is a preparation charge for materials submitted in
this way. Contact the staff for details.
CCAnet This Hotline is operated by the Canadian Communication
Association for the dissemination of CCA news and for
discussion among CCA members. Anyone interested in the
Canadian Communication Association is invited to join
CCAnet.
CCABoard This is a private Hotline for members of the board of
directors of the Canadian Communication Association.
Board members use CCABOARD to facilitate planning and
policy discussion. This Hotline is not available to the
public.

interaction in the marital and family context.
