Any message posted to this list will automatically be distributed<br>to anyone subscribed to this list. This way we can have an unstructured<br>discussion going in opencyberspace.<br><br>To subscribe to the list, send the following electronic message:<br><br>SUBSCRIBE OSLIST firstname lastname<br><br>(Nothing more, just that; no subject, no signature, nothing else.<br>Substitute your first name and your last name for "firstname" and<br>"lastname". If you don't have either a first or last name, invent, borrow,<br>or steal one).<br><br>Send this message to the following email address:<br><br>LISTSERV@IDBSU.IDBSU.EDU<br><br>You will receive confirmation of your subscription along with instructions.<br>PLEASE SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ON YOUR HARD DRIVE AND REFER TO THEM EARLY<br>AND OFTEN INTO THE FUTURE, AND ESP. WHEN YOU WANT TO UNSUBSCRIBE.<br><br>Once you are subscribed (i.e., have received confirmation), you may post<br>messages to the list by sending your messages to:<br><br>OSLIST@IDBSU.IDBSU.EDU<br><br>NOTE that this email address is different from the first one. This is not<br>a mistake. The first one you use only to subscribe and for some other<br>housekeeping tasks that we can talk about later, if you're not familiar<br>with this set up. After you subscribe you only need to be concerned with<br>this second email address if all you want to do is post messages (and<br>receive them, of course).<br><br>That's it!<br><br>(NOTE TO EXPERTS: Sorry about being long winded--the instructions are meant<br>to help those who are not familiar with the annoying idiosyncrasies of<br>current LISTSERVers.)<br><br>Peace.<br><br>murli<br><br>Murli Nagasundaram, Ph.D<br>Asst.
