List address to send message to everyone: ifets-discuss@LISTSERV.READADP.COM
Details of current discussion: http://ifets.gmd.de/discuss.html

I always delete messages w/ no subject line
without opening. As do others. So those
posting messages w/o subject lines may
find their posts for naught.

To keep threading intact many lists use the
first few words then say -> now: blah blah.

Keeps the subject thread but yet denotes
a change in direction.

[the Internet] could remain what it ought to be:
just a public instrument. There ought to be efforts --
not just talk but real efforts -- to ensure Internet
access, not just for rich people but for everyone.
