In classes I have taught, I have been frustrated by students who send messages to the "listserv" address and commands to the discussion address -- a few always do no matter how I emphasize that "listserv@"goes to a computer program and that "groupname@" goes to a group of people. In a way it is reassuring that the concept may even elude some internet trainers. In another way its disconcerting. IMO, discussion lists rank near the top of useful internet tools. With the focus on the web these days, I wonder how many trainers teach about discussion lists. What are successful ways to ingrain in students the differences in the list addresses? --------------------------------------------------------------- Athena Hoeppner - Librarian holcomba@mail.ucf.edu http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~holcomba
