Personally, I get all the email I can handle. Perhaps having students on the list is OK, but I don't think they will find much Advanced Composition here. I suggest that as a first step the instructor get the notebook archives for the past 12 months and send them on to his students. That should keep them busy for a while. Tom Thole Listowner of 5-6 lists Greetings, As a first time poster, I'll introduce myself as Mark Haas, Assistant Professor of English at Dakota State University. I am writing to ask you all if you would be willing to have a group of students subscribe to this list and ask you about the pleasure and pain of maintaining a listserv. I am teaching a class in Advanced Composition that intends to introduce the variety of electronic writing available. The students would have to subscribe and look over what you folks are discussing, then 'enter the conversation' by asking questions or whatnot. May I have your approval for this venture? I don't wish for you to be spammed with mail that you would prefer to avoid. Please let me know your wishes. Thank you, Mark Haas Dakota State University http://www.homepages.dsu.edu/haasm/301/301.htm
