To LSTSRV-L subscribers:
 
I am helping to start a new electronic cognitive science journal.
It has been suggested that for handling subscriptions, etc. using
listserv is optimal.  I have the cooperation of my institution,
unfortunately they have no ibm's, as required for listserv.  I
sent therefore this inquiry to Eric Thomas & received the reply
suggesting I contact all of LSTSRV-L.

I am enclosing a provisional statement of purpose for our journal.
We would like to have two listserv groups: one for ordinary
subscriptions and (perhaps) unmoderated discussions of the journal's
contents; another with subscription restricted to editors, for
conducting journal business.
 
If someone running listserv can volunteer computational resources,
please contact me and let me know what I need to do on my
unix machine to get things going.
 
Thanks, Kevin
