Before anyone gets annoyed about this, please note that this is a *moderated* newsgroup which will be used only to post society announcements and is *not* a discussion forum. This will not fill your mail file with lots of messages since posting access to this group is restricted. Please read the following message from Dr. Victor Bloomfield in this regards. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 18 Apr 94 13:11:36 CDT From: "Victor Bloomfield" Subject: E-mail to Biophys Soc membership - new newsgroup Dear Biophysical Society Member: We are pleased to announce the inauguration of the newsgroup bionet.prof-society.biophysics, which is intended to be a primary means of communication of important notices and announcements to the Biophysical Society membership. All messages posted to this newsgroup will originate with or be reviewed by an officer of the Biophysical Society, and must be of significant general interest to the membership to merit posting. It is not a medium for discussion and conversation, in contrast to our other newsgroup, bionet.biophysics. We are starting the e-mail version of this newsgroup with all Society members who have e-mail addresses listed in the directory. We anticipate that the frequency of e-mailings will be very low. Your mailbox will not be flooded with unwanted mail. We therefore strongly urge you not to unsubscribe to the e-mail version of this newsgroup unless you are a dedicated USENET newsreader user who will keep current with this newsgroup through that mechanism. If you have questions, contact the Biophysical Society Internet Coordinator, Carol Gross, at cgross@molbio.cbs.umn.edu. If you have questions about e-mail subscription problems, please contact BIOSCI/bionet. Sincerely, Victor Bloomfield Editor, Biophysical Journal ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Canceling your e-mail subscription ---------------------------------- I should add to Dr. Bloomfield's note the following information. The mailing list that has been used for this posting is the one that was pared down somewhat from the original list in Jan/Feb. after people were given a chance to remove their addresses if they wanted to use USENET. Nonetheless if you received this message by e-mail and would prefer to read the announcements in a news reader, please take one of the following two steps dependant upon your location (the mailing list is distributed between two sites in the U.S. and the U.K.): IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE AMERICAS OR PACIFIC RIM COUNTRIES: address a mail message to the Internet address biosci-server@net.bio.net and leave the Subject: line blank. In the body of the message include the line: unsubscribe bphyssoc Our server will automatically remove you from the list if the address on your mail header matches the address on our list (in case of mismatches, we will be notified automatically of the problem and will remove you manually usually within a few hours). IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA, OR CENTRAL ASIA: please send mail to biosci@daresbury.ac.uk and request that your subscription to BIOPHYSICAL-SOCIETY be canceled. Other Issues ------------ As this newsgroup is not intended for posting messages, you need not worry about how to do this (in fact, you can't get your replies distributed automatically on this group). Replies to Society announcements will be passed back to the Society for review and may be posted later if the Society wishes to make them generally available. Most discussion of issues, however, should take place on the unmoderated bionet.biophysics newsgroup, not here. If you decide to read this group in your local newsreader, PLEASE NOTE that many USENET sites do not allow automatic creation of new USENET groups!!! If you do not see bionet.prof-society.biophysics in your newsreader by now, tell your systems administrator to get on the ball 8-) and act on our "newgroup" message to enable the group at your site. We have already done several tests and are certain that the group has propagated around the network. If they have questions, please have them contact us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. Subscribing to this list: ------------------------- First if you received this message you are ALREADY SUBSCRIBED to the mailing list, so you need NOT do anything further (unless you want to cancel because you intend to use news instead). If you have colleagues who would like to sign up for e-mail distribution, they should proceed as follows. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN EUROPE, AFRICA, OR CENTRAL ASIA: please contact biosci@daresbury.ac.uk and request a subscription to BIOPHYSICAL-SOCIETY. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN THE AMERICAS OR THE PACIFIC RIM: log in to the computer account in which you would like to receive mail (not an account that you use infrequently) and send a mail message to the Internet address biosci-server@net.bio.net Leave the Subject: line of the message blank and enter the following line into the body of the mail message: subscribe bphyssoc This message will be automatically read by our computer and your e-mail address will be extracted from the mail header and added to the list. IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM: ---------------------- Please send a message to one of the following addresses depending upon your location Address Location ------- -------- biosci@daresbury.ac.uk Europe, Africa, and Central Asia biosci-help@net.bio.net Americas and the Pacific Rim and someone on the staff will help you. PLEASE DO NOT send mail to our personal e-mail addresses as this will delay a response to your request for help. How to look at archives of the list: ------------------------------------ Archives for BIOPHYSICAL-SOCIETY/bionet.prof-society.biophysics are kept in the anonymous FTP account at net.bio.net [134.172.2.69]. Look in the directory pub/BIOSCI/BIOPHYSICAL-SOCIETY for posting archives. Each file is assigned a date such as 9404 for April 1994. Please note that ours is a UNIX system and all file and directory names are case-sensitive, i.e., upper case file names are different from lower case names. You can also access these same files via Gopher if you start a gopher session using net.bio.net as your gopher server. Gopher also allows you to view the individual messages within each monthly archive file. The files are in the BIOPHYSICAL-SOCIETY directory. Postings to the newsgroup are also WAIS indexed and can be searched via either gopher or WAIS at our site. In gopher the option at net.bio.net is "Search Bionet USENET Articles" and in WAIS one should use the WAIS source biosci.src. This is a WAIS index of all BIOSCI/bionet messages including this newsgroup. Please see the BIOSCI FAQ for details. The FAQ can be requested from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Once again, if you have any administrative questions that require personal assistance, please address them to biosci-help@net.bio.net in the U.S. or biosci@daresbury.ac.uk in the UK. Best wishes for a successful newsgroup! Sincerely, David Kristofferson, Ph.D. BIOSCI/bionet Manager biosci-help@net.bio.net
