Subject: Mailing lists.
I have been compiling a list of Internet Resources for philosophers
at the University of Manchester. The goal been to create a list of
the best sources rather than try and list all possibles.
What follows is the section on E-mail discussion lists. Further lists
of Telnet, Gopher and Usenet sources will follow.
Please help me to maintain this list by mailing me suggestions for
lists to add or (if a list is under-used) delete. Remember I am
after the GOOD sources that you actually use.
Thanks to Ian Budden, Stephen Clark, Bruce Edmonds, Jim McNeil and
Paul Rutherford.
David Potts.
