RADIANCE DISCUSSION GROUP This directory contains mail from the Radiance discussion group, for those who are looking at old questions and answers exchanged among users. NOTE: As of August, 1997, the discussion group archives have become part of the regular digest distribution. This was done to reduce overhead administrative time, and to be sure that all Radiance users benefit from the valuable material discussed on both lists. The files are organized by date, and all mail including subscription requests is included. In this way, users may at least learn when someone new has signed on. The dates are in simple YY_MM_DD format, for chronological listing, and each file contains all mail between the last date and this one. The file "current" contains all discussion group mail received since the last dated file. To subscribe to the Radiance discussion group, please send mail to "[email protected]", saying you would like to subscribe. There are two lists to which you may subscribe, the moderated announcement and digest mailing list, and the unmoderated discussion group. Usually people subscribe either to the announcement list only, or to both lists. DO NOT SEND ADMINISTRATIVE REQUESTS TO THE LIST ITSELF. It makes a very poor introduction, since it says to people, "I don't even know how to use a mailing list." Being a novice is fine and good, but a novice who doesn't read directions is rarely appreciated. Also, just in general it is a good idea to subscribe to a list before you send mail to it -- that way, you can see any responses(!). The mailing list address is "[email protected]".
