Jim Byrne played the hero card and came up with a server to host the original Up Front mailing list. If you've never subscribed to a mailing list, it is an interactive discussion (not real time), of thoughts, ideas, and general craziness about a particular subject. Subscribing to the list entitles you to send and receive messages from the list. Lurking (i.e. watching the traffic without stepping into it) is allowed.

To subscribe to the list send a message to: majordomo@halisp.net.
You don't need a subject, and the body of the message should contain the message: subscribe upfront, and nothing else. Within a short period of time you should receive confirmation message, to which you replay and then you are added to the list.

A digest version, generated every 40K of messages, is available by sending a message to: majordomo@halisp.net.
You don't need a subject, and the body of the message should contain the message: subscribe upfront digest, and nothing else. Within a short period of time you should receive confirmation message, to which you replay and then you are added to the list.

With an intelligent browser, you can send the message from here: majordomo@halisp.net.

Note: If you subscribe to both lists, you will get both mailings.

Up Front Discussion Group on Yahoo

I've been most delinquent in announcing that there is also an Up Front discussion group on Yahoo. You have to sign up for membership (free) to join the discussion group. It is found at:
