This is a semi-regular announcement of special interest group
mailing lists for the VNese community.
Back when we had Vietnet, and now with SCV, there was always the
problem of there being too many messages and people feeling lost
or frustrated at not being able to discuss things they are
interested in. A number of special interest groups (SIGs) were
created to meet these needs. I will give a short description
of each lists and then the instruction on how to join it.
These mailing lists are based at Saigon.COM, a machine in
Sunnyvale (near San Jose, California). Saigon.COM is the
first and original archive site for Vietnet. It is also the first
Vietnet BBS in the world (started in 1984).
You can subscribe the old fashion way as below, or you can browse
and subscribe to the lists online via the Web at
Mail.
The names of the lists and their email addresses are:
The following lists use Majordomo as the mailing list manager.
Please read the instructions carefully.
