Since others will likely find this useful also, I'll respond to
the entire list. The following is the introductory section to a document
I'm sure you'll find useful, the "list of lists".

ftp.nisc.sri.com: netinfo/interest-groups [9 September 1992]
Welcome to the "List of lists." This is a listing of special interest
group mailing lists available on the Internet. This file is available via
anonymous ftp on ftp.nisc.sri.com in netinfo/interest-groups. A compressed
version is available in netinfo/interest-groups.Z. It may also be obtained
through e-mail by sending a message to mail-server -at- nisc -dot- sri -dot- com with "send
netinfo/interest-groups" in the body of the message.
A hardcopy, indexed version of this list is available from SRI
International. For more information send a message to nisc -at- nisc -dot- sri -dot- com -dot-
There is a mailing-list for "List of lists" update notices. To get on this
list (or to submit updates to existing mailing-lists or add new ones), send
a message to interest-groups-request -at- nisc -dot- sri -dot- com -dot-
SRI makes every attempt to keep entries current. However, since
information is provided by the list maintainers, some entries may be out of
date.
