			SIEGE MAILING LIST
		   (Plan, hopes and dreams....)

	The siege mailing list is intended for the discussion of
pre-black powder methods of attack and defence of fortified positions. 
While the discussion of the downfall of the great siege engines caused
by the advent of portable, and powerful cannons, is important, I would
like this to be somewhat minimized.

	My thoughts is that this would be used to discuss the myriad of
topics applicable.

	Physics			Mechanics
	Materials		Construction
	Transportation		Terminology
	Historic evidence of use  - Manuscripts
				  - Texts
				  - Archaeological data

	Historical reconstruction
	Common myths, and misconceptions
	and so on.


	I would also like to be able to compile a database of books,
references, and data for later use.

	
	I would like to ask all who wish to participate, to try to
re-define the commonly (incorrectly) used words such as catapult and ballista.
