Mail lists are really nice, and you only need email access to get them. What they actually are, is a mail reflector. Everyone sends their mail to the same adress, and the reflector sends it to all subscribers. Similar to the way repeaters work for VHF/UHF RF.

I'll give you the list of reflectors, and you can subscribe to those that have topics of interest to you. The subscription is via an automated service, so it's pretty simple. With most, you send a message to an adress, and only have a simple statement in the body of the message like:

Don't forget to turn 'off' any signature lines that might be automatic in your email program. That's it. OK?? Well, here goes...
