writing profession, has its own mailing list, which is carried on some
systems
as the newsgroup
bit.listserv.techwr-l
If that newsgroup does not exist at your site, you can subscribe by
sending a message to
LISTSERV@VM1.UCC.OKSTATE.EDU
Leave the subject line *blank*, and include on the first line of
the
message:
SUB TECHWR-L your_first_name your_last_name
For example:
SUB TECHWR-L Kate Vincent
The list is unmoderated and is available in either digest or
mail form. [This information is taken from the longer
"Information from TECHWR-L Listowner" posted periodically to
the list by owner Eric Ray (ejray@okway.okstate.edu).]
