Change to netCDF mailing list management

Hi,

This message describes a change in the way the netcdfgroup and ncdigest
mailing lists will be administered.  From now on, changes to subscriptions
will be handled by `majordomo'.  Discussions of topics like this tend to
annoy people who subscribe for technical information, so please reply only
to me (russ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) rather than the whole mailing list if you have
comments about this.  Thanks.

(This information is also available to WWW clients from the netCDF home page
 at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/.)

Information about netCDF Mailing Lists

   These mailing lists are maintained to support discussion on matters of
   common interest to netCDF users.
   
  THE NETCDFGROUP MAILING LIST
  
   The netcdfgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list is intended for
   discussions and announcements about netCDF interfaces, software, and
   use. The volume of this list has recently averaged two or three
   messages per day. A message you post to this mailing list will be seen
   by several hundred people, so it's not usually appropriate for asking
   simple questions about use. Such questions should instead be sent to
   support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
   
  THE NCDIGEST MAILING LIST
  
   If you would prefer to get only a single daily digest of the postings
   to the netcdfgroup mailing list, subscribe instead to the
   ncdigest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list. It's a digested form of the
   netcdfgroup mailing list, containing the same messages but appearing
   at most once per day instead of whenever anyone sends a message to the
   group.
   
  SENDING MESSAGES TO THE LISTS
  
   Messages sent to netcdfgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx will be distributed to
   all subscribers, usually within an hour or two of being sent. These
   are automatically accumulated and sent once per day as a single
   message to the subscribers of the ncdigest mailing list. You should
   not send messages directly to ncdigest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
   
   Please don't send a request to change your subscription or to change
   your email address to the netcdfgroup mailing list, because it won't
   work, and it may irritate other subscribers. All such requests should
   be sent to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx instead, as described below.
   
  SUBSCRIBING AND UNSUBSCRIBING
  
   You can begin or change your subscription to the netcdfgroup mailing
   list by sending a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx using a blank
   subject. Include in the message body one or more of the lines below,
   using your email address in place of jdoe@xxxxxxxxx.domain. If you are
   sending the message from the account that you wish to subscribe or
   unsubscribe, it's not necessary to include your email address on the
   subscribe or unsubscribe line.
   
   To subscribe to the netcdfgroup mailing list:
          subscribe netcdfgroup jdoe@xxxxxxxxx.domain
          
   To unsubscribe from the netcdfgroup mailing list:
          unsubscribe netcdfgroup jdoe@xxxxxxxxx.domain
          
   To subscribe to the ncdigest mailing list:
          subscribe ncdigest jdoe@xxxxxxxxx.domain
          
   To unsubscribe from the ncdigest mailing list:
          unsubscribe ncdigest jdoe@xxxxxxxxx.domain
          
   To retrieve the general introductory information for the mailing list:
          info netcdfgroup
          
   To get a synopsis of other majordomo commands:
          help
   
   To change your email address, send a message to
   majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to unsubscribe your old address, and
   subscribe your new address. Similarly, to get the digested form of
   the mailing list, unsubscribe from netcdfgroup and subscribe to
   ncdigest.
   
  ARCHIVES OF PAST MESSAGES
  
   All past postings to the netcdfgroup mailing list are available via
   anonymous FTP from ftp.unidata.ucar.edu in the mail-archives
   directory. Access to a searchable index of these archives is available
   from the netCDF home page on the World Wide Web, at
   http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/.
