Hello Fellow Arachnians: I have a correspondent named Carl P. Nelson who is a fellow Arachne fan and a registered Arachne user. He is having a problem in trying to subscribe to the Arachne List. He has given me his permission to forward our private correspondence to the list in order to get help on this problem.
Please see the forwarded message below and please take note of what he has said in the last paragraph of his email to me. Anyone knowing the current procedure for subscribing to the Arachne List, please post here on the list and also please CC your post to Carl P. Nelson, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks in advance. --------------- forwarded message begins ------- Hello Carl: On Thu, 26 Sep 2002 10:59:47, you wrote: > Hi, Sam - - Excuse me for bothering you again, but you are the > only one on any of the "lists" that has given me correct answers that I > was able to use.

The Nettamer list would be very off-topic for questions on Pegasus Mail. There are several people on the Arachne List who use Pegasus and who sometimes post comments and questions about it. They never get flamed for discussing Pegasus, which is also a little bit off-topic there. I don't use Pegasus. > I'm subscribed to Mettamer, but so far > have found no use for it.

I am subscribed to the DOS-discuss list but I no longer find that list very useful for me because most of the current members are people who are blind and who use speech-synthesis software and screen readers. Most of the discussion there is about DOS-based screen readers and DOS programs that "talk well". Blind people really hate to have to work with graphical interfaces. Most of the list members use Nettamer. Some of them use Pegasus. Unless you are interested in screen readers I don't think you would be very interested in the discussions that are going on in the DOS-discuss list. There are lots of different LINUX lists out there. You should subscribe to one having lots of members who dig your thing and who are on your level or slightly above and who are into your favorite brand and flavor of LINUX. > However, no matter what I do I always > end up with something called "Majordomo" telling me that I can't do > that, but not telling me how I can.

Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Would it be OK with you if I were to forward part of your email message to the Arachne List and request that someone who knows about how to subscribe to send you an email with instructions? I think the procedure for subscribing has recently changed.
