This document is correct to the best of my knowledge but there are undoubtedly errors. I would appreciate any corrections. Please send them to me at the above E-Mail address.
In the section on Mailing Lists, now located in Parts II and III of this guide, the reader will note that the descriptions vary from nothing at all to a very detailed description. It is impossible for me to subscribe to all of the mailing lists so I would appreciate it if any subscribers would send me a brief description of the lists that are not described, partially described, or described inaccurately. With your help this resource guide will be useful for everyone.
