ACM Lists
These lists are hosted by the Association of Computing (ACM) in
the US and managed on a voluntary basis by William Hudson unless
otherwise noted (CHI-WEB has a whole team of
moderators as well). Unfortunately, the ACM does not use the Listserv
web interface so all subscription changes must be managed by email. (Send the single word "help" - without the quotes - as the body of a message to listserv@acm.org to get basic instructions on how to do this.)
To post to these lists, send plain text email with no attachments
to the list name at acm.org (e.g. chi-web@acm.org).
