To be honest I had not really heard of the ARS List until about a couple of years after having already worked with Remedy. This was because Remedy was not as popular in Asia as it was here or in Europe. And back then there weren't enough search engines to find stuff on the net..
The list is now popular among Remedy admins and developers in Asia but back then very few in Asia even knew what Remedy was. And even when some started to hear a little about it all they thought it was is a software for managing a helpdesk. I think I first heard of the list somewhere around 2000, and joined it for laughs and giggles not knowing what I am getting myself into :-) But I sure am glad I did!

I also got an off-line reply from Brad Benedict (sorry if I am using your name without permission) directing me to: http://listserv.rbugs.com/cgi-bin/wa.exe?SUBED1=arslist&A=1.

I once found instructions on the BMC Support website, but now I can't find them again. I went to the archives and "Subscriber's Corner" and selected "Show: All Lists," but it didn't bring up ARSLIST. I appreciate BMC's desire to not "own" ARSLIST, but it seems that letting people know about its existence would not be going too far.
