If you have access to USENET news YOU DO NOT NEED AN E-MAIL SUBSCRIPTION!!
We strongly encourage all interested users to explore getting USENET news at
your site. It's MUCH easier on you than an e-mail subscription! Please
consult your systems manager or contact biosci-help@net.bio.net for
assistance if needed.
The BIOSCI (email) name for the forum is BIO-INFO.
Depending on where you are, you have to do different things to subscribe or
be removed from the email subscription list:
SUBSCRIBING / UNSUBSCRIBING
North or South America or Pacific Rim:
Using the computer account in which you want to receive mail messages,
please send an email message to the e-mail server at
biosci-server@net.bio.net
Leave the Subject: line blank. In the body of the message include the line
subscribe bio-info
to add yourself to the mailing list or
unsubscribe bio-info
to cancel an existing subscription. If you need personal subscription
assistance, please contact biosci-help@net.bio.net
Europe, Africa, and Central Asia:
Send a email message to the person at biosci@daresbury.ac.uk requesting a
subscription or removal from the BIO-INFO forum.
SENDING OUT POSTINGS
Thereafter, address email messages for this forum to one of:
North or South America or Pacific Rim:
bio-info@net.bio.net
Europe, Africa, and Central Asia:
bio-info@daresbury.ac.uk
You can post to either of the above address if you want. We only request
that you sign up at your local node in order to optimize the use of the
network resources for message distribution.
Do not send subscription requests to any of these addresses, or you will
have sent it to everybody on the planet (to your great embarrassment, and we
will drub you with food cake)! Let me say that again: please do not post
requests for subscription or being removed from the list to the list itself,
that takes up bandwidth all over the world!
If you have problems, contact the subscription site manager who you signed
up with. If your problem is not resolved, please contact
biosci-help@net.bio.net
DO NOT CONTACT TOM SCHNEIDER FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS OR UNSUBSCRIBING!
This is so complicated! It would be a lot easier for you to use a news
reader!
