GEN: Newsgroup Mirrors or Rebroadcasts of LM_NET

[Peter Milbury <pmilbury@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

Dear LM_NET,

We have recently discontinued allowing mirroring of LM_NET messages to
some newsgroups, due to commercial and porn abuse at those sites. This
activity has been done via methods over which we at LM_NET have no
control. Our action has been in response to complaints by our members who
have been accessing our messages by those channels (none of which have had
an official agreement with LM_NET to retransmit).

In the event that you are not able to check LM_NET messages via
newsgroups, please make use of the LM_NET Archives, at AskERIC. With a
little practice and use, they are a very convenient alternative to
receiving LM_NET messages directly into your mailbox.

FINDING THE LM_NET ARCHIVES AND RELATED INFORMATION

         This is an update of previously posted
     instructions for locating the LM_NET Archives. (1-99)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

THE LM_NET ARCHIVES, ETC. ARE AVAILABLE BY WEB

   The LM_NET Archives and other interesting related information is
   available at the AskERIC World Wide Website, and they are also linked via
   LM_NET On the Web.

   Here is how to find the LM_NET Message Archives:

1. Go directly to the host website, at AskERIC.
      http://ericir.syr.edu/Virtual/Listserv_Archives/LM_NET.html

   There you will find several options. You may browse by date or thread,
   subject or author, or to do a keyword search of current and past LM_NET
   messages. Messages are organized by year and month in folders.

2. Another way to access them is by going to the LM_NET On the Web Page:
       http://ericir.syr.edu/lm_net/

   Once at the "LM_NET On the Web Page", scroll down just a bit until you
   see the section title: The Web LM_NET Archives. This points to a search
   engine which allows access to LM_NET's Archives, plus the archives of
   several other online groups that are archived at AskERIC. There is also
   a link to the LM_NET archives listed by month and year.

Happy searching!
