Using the following book:
 
Electronic Style: A Guide to Citing Electronic Information
Xia Li and Nancy B. Crane
Meckler Publishers 1993
 
we have made these examples of how to cite sources from Listserves,
Newsgroups, and E-mail.  It is simply OUR interpretation of what we THINK
the book states. (Notice just how sure we are of ourselves here! :)
 
Since I have seen several questions about how to cite I thought it might be
a good idea to see what you all think about using this format.  Please take
a look...check with the book...and let me know if you feel that changes are
in order.  I will post an updated version after I hear from you all.
 
Thank you for your help. :)
