To: [log in to unmask] From: Andrew Cattell and David Znidersic Re: Searching for a host site. Date: 10/17/96 We're the editors of the upcoming electronic magazine, Sinister. We are requesting that you host our mailing list on your server. The proposed name for this list is to be "Sinister Mailings." While our name may have some negative connotations, we are not, by any measure of the word, evil. Through its etymology, we see that "sinister" used to mean a left-handed person. It was not until modern times that "sinister" developed negative connotations. We're using this name because our magazine is intented to be an alternative, insightful look into the digital world and the future. Also, we hope to incorporate several entertainment options as well, such as film and book reviews. We estimate that the absolute maximum number of people subscribing to our site would be around 500. Also, about 5 messages or less would be processed on a typical day. We hope that this meets with your approval and we're hoping to hear back from you soon. Sincerely, David Z. Andrew C.
