Re: Re[2]: E-mail: How do

I'm surprised Marilynne is the first person to mention being on this list
as one of the benefits of e-mail.  I've had e-mail for about 4 years.  I
am usually on 6 or 7 lists, some professional and some personal.  The
professional ones allow me to keep up with the issues in my field(s) of
expertise that I'm not directly involved with.  I don't have time to read
all the journals (nor do I wish to), so I can keep abreast of things at
least peripherally this way.

I've been on this list for less than two months and have already received
an enormous amount of valuable information.  I don't even know how long
it would have taken me to get this much otherwise, or in what forum.

Whenever I hear about a list on a topic that seems interesting, I hop on
for a while.  Sometimes I stay and sometimes not.  Sometimes I do it for
professional reasons, sometimes personal.  The parent lists I've been on
have been wonderful support groups.  I've made friends over email through
some of these.  I also keep in touch with  several of my siblings and
many friends.

One of the things I'll deeply regret about changing jobs is
losing my internet access (free and unlimited).
