I get asked the following fairly frequently, so I thought there might be some general interest in it... ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I've logged into SCREEN-L for a while now and have enjyed the variety of views and expressions. I note, however, that there are other TV and Cinema discussion lists mentioned in the 'statement' about screen-l. Can you give me info on these other lists and how to join them? Also, is there a way to list all the lists on internet? -------------------------------end original message--------------------- Lists that deal with film/TV related topics include (with their addresses): SCRNWRIT@TAMVM1 Screenwriting CINEMA-L@AUVM General film discussion (the most active of all of these) FILM-L@ITESMVF1 General film discussion TV-L@TREARN General TV discussion AMIA-L@UKCC Association for Moving Image Archivists (These are all BITNET addresses, incidently, but most folks with Internet accounts should have no trouble reaching them.) To subscribe to any of these lists, send e-mail to the LISTSERV that runs the list. Please note that the LISTSERV address is slightly different from the address of the list itself. In each of the cases above, send e-mail to [log in to unmask] So, to subscribe to CINEMA-L, send it to: LISTSERV@AUVM In your e-mail, put the following command in the body of the message: SUBSCRIBE listname your-name Replace "listname" with CINEMA-L or whichever list you're joining and replace "your-name" with your name as you'd like it to appear on the list. Thus, if I were subscribing to CINEMA-L, I'd send in the following: SUBSCRIBE CINEMA-L Jeremy Butler Now, if you want a big ol' list of every BITNET list you can have one mailed to you by sending e-mail to any LISTSERV (note: use the LISTSERV address, not a list like SCREEN'L's) with the following command: LIST GLOBAL Send this to, say, [log in to unmask], and you'll get a file mailed to you with a one-line description of every BITNET list known to man and woman. Anybody with any further pointers? Lists of Internet (not BITNET) lists? ---------- My advice to young actors? Stay out of jail. --Alfred Hitchcock ---------- | Jeremy G.
