Theos-Talk Archives (November 1997 Message tl00390)

Eldon:

One more thought. How about preparing a one page write up on theosophy
maillists - theos-talk, theos-xxxx, ti-l, ts-l and instructions on how to
sign up for them. It would be very handy for newbees.

When I was looking for theos-xxxx maillists, a kind soul who picked up the
handout prepared by Don DeGracia faxed it to me and it helped me to
subscribe to theos-l and related maillists.
