Hi, I am looking for a site that will host some lists for me. Currently I administer several lists from my own office DOS machine . . . this suits me fine apart from the fact that I have to pay volume charges for outgoing mail from _New Zealand_, quite high! -- in addition to the usual fee for getting mail -- this is not viable any longer and I like the idea of forming a new and stable relationship with a professional list provider in the US or anywhere, and move the lists over. I am exploring service for a fee options or a liaison with parties interested in the project, who may be able to offer list services free. I am the originator of the Psybernet project -- see WWW pages in sig. The aim is to conduct hi quality professional psychological email groups for a fee. The vision includes training people in the skills to conduct all variety of e-groups. To date no fee paying groups have been launched -- there has been an intensive period of preparation for this and developing suitable list facilities is one step in a continuing process. Initially I would like to transport two lists -- both free to users and with small numbers and limited volume, this could expand rapidly as the group is promoted more effectively. These lists are likely to be long term and stable -- one has been running for 3 years to date. I would like to be able to offer users files via a GET command. I would like to have a fair degree of input in the admin of the lists. I would like to be able to add and remove lists easily. One style of lists I envisage will be ones that are thoroughly moderated, with fixed number of members, and a definite starting and closing date. Can you offer a service that suits this? Please keep in mind that the paying groups are only _vapour_ groups at this point, and that the fees for groups (in the vision) would be largely to pay for professional facilitation/moderation/leadership. Below is a description of the Psyber-L list for your info. I look forward to hearing from you. NOTE i am not subbed to this list and would appreciate reply in email. Walter Logeman -=-=-=-= Psybernet Mailing List -=-=-=-= Psybernet Mailing List aims to help us become conscious of the effects of email groups and lists on group life and the psyche. Topics include: The art of leadership in communication networks. The impact on organisations of tele-computing. Creating communication environments. Gender issues. Imagination, metaphors, archetypes, dreams, myths, personal identity, psychotherapy, and the unconscious. Special focus on how these psychological phenomena relate to cyberspace. The range of discussion here is broad, this enables us to learn directly from our experience of the medium. It is a place where the development of relationships around these interests is an important part of the work. The aim is to foster experiential learning. The list is an important part of the larger Psybernet project which includes Psybernet Small Groups. These are professionally facilitated psychological email groups, for which there is a fee for membership. Announcements about Psybernet groups will be made in this list. The list is facilitated by Walter Logeman, no censorship or editing has taken place, however discussion of how the list is facilitated is integral to its purpose. Psyber-L is archived, see the WWW pages for details.
