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.
