I do not wnat to clutter the list, whose subscribers are all much more knowedgeable than I, with what may seem stupid questions, but I need a little help. I am a new listowner of a rapidly growing list that serves a humanities base. I have no experience doing this before. I have contacted my listserv for a refcard and the owner's manual, but this information does not contain the types of more advanced material, like "filter:", that I have seen discussed here. IS there a book or a file that I can access and read that will give me more elaborate documentation and discussion regarding listownership, sort of like a "listownership for dummies"? ANY suggestions will be pursued and studied assidously. In addition, I am getting messages from my subscribers stating that the volume is too high (60 messages/day or more). How can I "gateway" my bitnet-listserv group to a Usenet newgroup? I am much more competent at mail than nn, so please be gentle with me. Many thanks. And please excuse my tyrohood.
