Obviously, my message has caused some confusion.  A couple of weeks ago I
had warned that you will need to be sending your messages to a slightly
different list address.  My most recent message was merely to confirm that
that time had arrived.

Henceforth (i.e., with immediate effect), please mail messages intended for
all OSLIST participants to:

            oslist at listserv.boisestate.edu

In order to subscribe, unsubscribe and other such things, you need to send
your message to:

            listserv at listserv.boisestate.edu

If you received this message and are reading this very sentence, it means
you are already subscribed, and need to do nothing in this department.

(BTW, these exchanges illustrate one of the main drawbacks of
"low-bandwidth" electronic communications -- they lack the richness of
multiple social context cues essential for triangulation and disambiguation
in human communication, especially for groups of persons who have little or
no history of direct personal context.  Richard Daft (I have no idea which
school he is at these days) has done considerable work in this area, and so
have Lee Sproull, Sara Kiesler, Roxanne Hiltz and Murray Turoff.  Then
again, this is the sort of format where Nixon can win a debate over
Kennedy, if you're familiar with the poll they did then, where Nixon won
the radio debate and Kennedy won the televised one).
