Hopefully, list recipients/subscribers will send in articles they've written, digital reprints, reviews and reports on new, useful products, ideas, meeting, concepts, books, etc, and we'll all share useful information.   THe plan is to title subjects witht he prefix PB (Psychbio) and then the thread or topic under discussion. That'll make it easier for you to manage the messages. ALso, the messages will be sent in digest format. Replies will come back to the server, not to senders, so you will have to copy the sender's e-mail address to reply directly to the sender. For this reason, it is important not to send personal messages to the server, only ones intended for all of the recipients of the list.

All messages sent in to the list will be archived and eventually some or all will be stored at an accessible  website, and possibly, with their cooperation, in the Compuserve Mind/Brain/BOdy Sciences Forum library. 

Looking forward to an exciting dialogue
