I have revised our "statement of being" and welcome messages somewhat.
They are attached so that all who are already subscribers can look them
over. Comments to me please. Thanks,
Hugh Jarvis
Anthro-l Welcome Message...
Thanks for subscribing to anthro-l! We are a bulletin board devoted to
scholarly and friendly discussion of anything relating to anthropology.
Please feel free to participate. For your interest, there are a number
of files which may be of help to you. Send the command index anthro-l
to listserv@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu. For your information, any requests
for changes to your listserver mail options are to be sent as commands
to the listserver, NOT the whole list. Should you have any questions
please contact the list manager at the address listed below. Enjoy.
Please note: Use of this list for commercial purposes is absolutely
forbidden. Bulk mailings of any kind are also not allowed. If you
feel your mailing is of significant anthropological relevance, send
it to the listowners for review.
Also please note: Messages posted to anthro-l should be considered
as in the realm of copyright. Hence, they must not be copied to
any other media without permission. Similarly, it is considered in
poor taste to forward to a public forum, any message which has been
posted to you in private, without permission. Such action will be
viewed as possible grounds for loss of access to anthro-l.

Thank you very much and enjoy anthro-l...

Please note: messages posted on anthro-l reflect the opinions of
those who posted them, and do not necessarily reflect the views
of the listowners, the Department of Anthropology, or the State
University of New York at Buffalo.
Further, because this can be considered a published medium, your
statements may be subject to the libel laws. So, please, THINK
BEFORE YOU TYPE!!
========================================
Anthro-l Statement of Being
File <anthro-l purpose>
Anthro-l is the general anthropology listserver. It is dedicated to
providing information and an arena for discussion on any anthropological
subject. It spans archaeology, social and cultural anthropology,
linguistic anthropology and physical anthropology. However, it is truly
multidisciplinary in nature, and frequently drifts into related areas
of other social and hard sciences. Anthro-l is supported by the State
University of New York at Buffalo. Started by Ezra Zubrow in June 1988,
it is now run by him and Hugh Jarvis.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ A disclaimer: Anthro-l is not associated with the Anthropology +
+ Department at the University at Buffalo. Further, any views stated +
+ by subscribers to anthro-l neither reflect the opinions of the +
+ listowners, nor those of the Anthropology Department, or the +
+ University at Buffalo. +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Anthro-l aims to provide information on current anthropological events,
employment opportunities, research questions, as well to help locate
answers for numerous cooperation and information requests. Discussions
may be conducted on the list or taken into a more private atmosphere.
We encourage people to post any information that they feel might be of
interest to the group. While some members are senior faculty, the
list has subscribers from a wide range of backgrounds. All are welcome.
Anthro-l is an unmoderated list. This format was chosen to provide
complete freedom to its subscribers to indulge in whatever lines of
anthropological thought they might desire. To date this policy has led
to a varied and interesting series of discussions.
PLEASE NOTE. Should you find that the occasional posting is not to your
personal or intellectual taste, you are free and encouraged to:
simply ignore and discard the message(s); send your own thoughts to
the original sender, or better yet, the whole list; or drop a note to a
sympathetic ear (like the listowners...). If you find someone's
messages offensive, chances are you are not the only one. Don't be shy.
Make your voice heard. We value your thoughts. While this is not a
moderated forum, the listowners retain the option of cautioning any
who appear to be using the list for ad hominem attacks, malicious
purposes, or advertising without permission. Should there be repeat
offenses, the list owner will feel obliged to bar the offender from
the list entirely. But in general, most users are quite friendly and
courteous, and such action is seldom even considered.
PLEASE NOTE: While we welcome almost any posting which could be
considered related to anthropology, we do not condone use of
the list for mass publications of any kind. Should you wish to post
such an item to anthro-l, kindly send a copy to the listowners
so that we can consider its relevance. Thank you.
ANOTHER NOTE: Messages on the Net fall under the realm of copyright.
Thus, a message posted to anthro-l must not be copied to any other
media without permission. Similarly, a message posted to you,
personally, should not be copied to the list as a whole without
permission. Abuses in these areas will be viewed as grounds for
loss of access to anthro-l.
Three versions of the list are available: you can be placed on the
main distribution list and receive all postings as they become
available; you can receive a daily lumped digest version with an
attached table of contents; or you can receive an indexed version in
which you will only receive the name and address of each original
sender, and the time, date, subject, and number of lines of their
message. This last is very handy for those who don't have time to
read through all the messages. To get the first, send SET ANTHRO-L
MAIL to LISTSERV@UBVM (it's the default). To get the second, use SET
ANTHRO-L DIGest, while SET ANTHRO-L INDex gets the third.
Messages are archived and are available by FTP from the listserver.
Please note, however, that the archive only keeps the last three
months worth of postings. To get the listing, send INDEX ANTHRO-L.
Anthro-l strives to be an international forum. We have members in a
good dozen countries, from the Americas, Europe, and Asia. While
English is the preferred and common language, others are welcome.
Should you wish to make reference to a posting that you read on Anthro-l
please first consider whether the message was intended for widespread
distribution and contact the author for permission. Then, one means of
citing the reference is given in the example below. The subject header
can serve as the title. Postings can be considered a form of published
document, but please remember to check with the author first as they
may not have intended it for that purpose.
Graber, Robert
1993 Universal Laws: D-N, Neolithic. Posting on General
Anthropology Bulletin Board (anthro-l@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu).

At present Anthro-l is engaged in some projects. Danny Yee
has been compiling a series of biographies of anthropologists.
That file is available from the listserver by sending the command
get anthro-l bio to listserv@ubvm.bitnet or @ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu.
There is also WEDA - The Worldwide Email Directory of Anthropologists
which is constantly being updated and expanded. To get information
on that directory, send the command get anthro-l wedainfo to the
listserver. We especially welcome addresses from outside continental
North America.
You might also be interested to know that a new electronic journal,
called the Journal of World Anthropology (JWA) is available free
through the net, to subscribers of the list jwa. To subscribe to
jwa, send the command sub jwa last_name first_name to the listserver.
The actual articles will be stored on our gopher/WWW server here at
the University at Buffalo, and be avilable at wings.buffalo.edu,
under the menu series Academic/Department/Anthropology/JWA, or also
through anonymous ftp to ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu, under the directory
jwa. Each issue will actually be avilable as a "packet" of files.
For more information, please feel free to contact the listowners at
antowner@ubvm.bitnet or antowner@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu
To subscribe or be removed from the list, send a message to
listserv@ubvm.bitnet or listserv@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu
with sub anthro-l last_name first_name, or unsub anthro-l.
All postings from Anthro-l are archived for a period of several
months. To access these archives, send a message to listserv@ubvm
with index anthro-l for a list of the archive file names and dates.
get anthr0-l logxxx will access the individual archive files. Note:
you are only currently allowed to receive one of these files a day
to keep transmissions down.
Hope you enjoy Anthro-l....
