*** WARNING ***
remember, to join list discussx@foo.com, usually, you send a message to
discussx-request@foo.com with the subject line

using mlist, you can find out what lists there are for everything
locally....remotely, is a lot more fun to try and discover -
sometimes, lists are duplicated on Usenet Bboards....they ar eoften
a better way of reading the contents in a less interrupt driven
manner!
