I suggest the "physicspunks" list would be a better place. Further, those interested in such things can simply subscribe to the AIP list. Even better, _much_ better, is to go right to the horse's mouth: xxx.lanl.gov Yes, xxx.lanl.gov Not a typo. It's an arXiv site Every week night at 11 pm Mountain Time the new papers hit the streets. In various forms, including abstracts, PDF, PS, HTML, etc. And the range of papers includes math, computer science, solid state, relativity, the whole shebang. It's where I go to see the latest papers on superstring/m-brane theory, for example. A search engine covering many years also exists. (The site is not crawlable with spiders, which is why search engines don't cover it and its papers.) This beats the hell out of Choate's dribbles. --Tim May -- Timothy C.
