At the request of the listowner, Taner Edis (edis@eta.pha.jhu.edu), this gateway has been established. SKEPTIC@JHUVM (skeptic@jhuvm.hcf.jhu.edu) is now available in newsgroup bit.listserv.skeptic. IT IS MODERATED. The address for submissions is the list address: skeptic@jhuvm.hcf.jhu.edu SKEPTIC is a mailing list devoted to critical discussion of extraordinary claims. Among the paranormal topics that are commonly examined are parapsychology and psychic claims, creationism, cult archaeology, UFO's, cryptozoology, reincarnation/survival, quackery, the occult and divination; but the discussion is not limited to any predetermined set of magical beliefs or alleged pseudosciences. In connection with paranormal claims, issues involving science and philosophy in general are often raised. There is no policy of excluding any topic from consideration. While the common point of view expressed is skepticism about claims that go against current scientific pictures, critical approaches to science itself are also encouraged. While some participants are connected to CSICOP or local skeptics groups, and journals like *The Skeptical Inquirer* are often referred to, there is no official link between any of these and this list. For your newsgroups file: bit.listserv.skeptic Discussion of Extraordinary Things. (Moderated) --- Jim McIntosh (jim@american.edu) The American University Washington DC 20016-8019 USA
