Theos-Talk Archives (April 1996 Message tl00847)

Dear Friend:

A very welcome news and would be looking forward to the lists.

In the meanwhile, can you enlighten us on:

(1) who are the editors/moderators
(2) who is (organization and/or person(s)) providing the financial and
administrative support to the lists
(3) are there going to be any charges to subscribe to these lists?

Your response on the above will be appreciated.

MK Ramadoss
