ATTENTION, SPORTS FANS! Finally, there now exists an Internet mailing list devoted to gay, lesbian, and bisexual sports topics! The Gay Sports list (~140 recipients currently) will accept all manner of discussions on: ... and virtually anything else that seems relevant. The list is UNMODERATED, so no one will censor or inhibit messages. I hope that homophobes will not take advantage of that fact and flood the list with anti-queer remarks. Please take them elsewhere, like the newsgroup alt.flame. What makes a sport gay? Well, nothing, really-- but gay, lesbian, and bisexual athletes often have special concerns, experiences, and goals that they'd like to talk about. So if you saw this message in, say, a newsgroup or mailing list dedicated to a specific sport (rec.sport.hockey, for example), don't be alarmed. Interested people will subscribe, and others can simply ignore this new list. TO SUBSCRIBE ~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's an automated process. Send an E-mail message to listmanager@hookup.net The subject line can say anything or nothing. In the BODY of the message, type the words subscribe lgb-sports You will automatically be added to the list. You will then receive a confirmation message. To unsubscribe from the list, send a message to listmanager@hookup.net with unsubscribe lgb-sports in the BODY of the message. If this automated system fails to work for some reason, send mail to me, Joe Clark, the owner of the lgb-sports list, at owner-lgb-sports@hookup.net or joeclark@hookup.net or joeclark@scilink.org Do not send (un)subscribe messages to the list itself. TO SEND A MESSAGE *TO* THE LIST SO EVERYONE CAN READ IT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail your contributions to the Gay Sports list to lgb-sports@hookup.net Case doesn't matter (LGB-SPOrtS@hookUP.neT works just as well) but the hyphen, the dot, and the @ have to be exact. Should be a fabbo list-- but only if you contribute! Sign up today! -- Joe Clark joeclark@hookup.net joeclark@scilink.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
