------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Jan 1994 18:19:22 CST From: CuD Moderators Subject: File 3--CuD -- The "SECRET LIST" and other listserv information 1. CUD--THE SECRET LIST (heh): We've begun receiving inquiries asking why CuD is "secret" and why we don't want the list known outside of a small group of people. The reason for the inquiry comes from the automatic message that the listserv site sends to new subscribers: > IMPORTANT: This list is confidential. You should not >publicly mention its existence, or forward copies of >information you have obtained from it to third parties. First, CuD obviously isn't "secret," at least not with over 100,000 readers on BBSes, Usenet, the mailing list, public access systems, and elsewhere. The "confidential" note is automatically sent by the listserv to all mailing lists that have settings that limit distribution. So, the notice may be safely ignored. CuD can be mentioned, discussed, and forwarded to others. 2. USING LISTSERV COMMANDS: Users can set parameters for their own addresses (such as suspending mail while on vacation, concealing their address, or leaving the list) with conventional listserv commands: > More information on LISTSERV commands can be found in the >LISTSERV reference card, which you can retrieve by >sending an "INFO REFCARD" command to >LISTSERV@UIUCVMD.BITNET (or LISTSERV@VMD.CSO.UIUC.EDU). 3. LEAVING THE LIST: Readers on the mailing list can leave at any time with the command: UNSUB CUDIGEST your name and sending it to listserv@vmd.cso.uiuc.edu We're appreciative for the help and space that Mark, Eric, and Charlie have provided at the UIUC site. True saints, all of 'em. =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ + END THIS FILE + +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+===+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
