	  Information List serving CASTAC
	Archives
	 
	 This is the official welcome
	message for the CASTAC-L listserver, serving the community of anthropologists
	interested in science, technology, medicine and computing. I'm Joe Dumit,
	the current moderator of this list, located at
	dumit@mit.edu 
	 The primary purpose of this
	list is to disseminate information on panels, conferences, interest groups,
	projects, etc., related to sci-tech anthro. Another purpose is to introduce
	ourselves to each other, and to plot our futures. 
	 This is a moderated list, meaning
	that all messages are bounced to me for approval before going out to the
	rest of the list. My function is primarily to intercept messages not meant
	for general distribution (e.g. personal messages, test messages). I will
	also add subject lines to messages, all beginning with CASTAC: so that you
	can recognize/sort them easily. If there are a bunch of very short messages,
	I may string them together to help cut down on mailbox clutter.
