CuD IS IN THE COMP.SOCIETY USENET HIERARCHY

We continue to receive queries about the change-over from
alt.society.cu-digest TO COMP.SOCIETY.CU-DIGEST. By now, your system
should have switched over. It appears that there are glitches (or
sysad tardiness) on some systems. If your system IS NOT receiving the
comp version, check with your sys ad.

WEEKLY SCHEDULE:

CuD remains committed to a weekly schedule intended to publish about
50 issues a year (with a two week break over Christmas).  The recent
twice-a-week schedule is temporary, owing in part to a surge of
material. The anticipated issue on the Software Publisher's
Association (SPA) will be out in about two weeks followed by a second
issue of responses.

SUBMITTING ARTICLES TO CuD:

The switch to the comp hierarchy has led to an increase in inquiries
about submitting articles. A summary of guidelines for longer articles
is available on request and may also be obtained from the FAQ
(frequently asked questions) list provided when requesting a mail
subscription. In general, we encourage all reasonable articles related
to some aspect of "cyber-culture" that have something substantive to
say. We do not publish 2-line "me too" agreements or 1-line "the
previous poster should be shot" flames. We encourage opinions,
debates, news summaries, book reviews, conference notices, conference
summaries, legal information, research summaries or articles,
technical blurbs, or other issues that are of interest to the diverse
interests of computer culture.

MAILING LIST GLITCHES:

We apologize to those on the mailing list for the occasional mailing
glitches (empty mail, garbled subject). The mailing list has increased
by nearly 25 percent in the past two months.  We had assumed that the
change to the comp hierarchy would reduce the list, but for every
reader that's switched to Usenet, we've added two who can't access
Usenet. So, we've experimented with a primitive batch mailer that's
not yet perfected. Let us know if there are any problems.
