2 What are other related LISTSERV/USENET groups?
There are two nice web resources for Statistics related lists:
http://www.ukc.ac.uk/php/mff/netres/statlist.html and
http://www.minitab.com/maillist.htm.
http://www.stattransfer.com/lists.html is a nice site sponsored by Circle Systems, makers of Stat/Transfer software. It uses web forms to allow you to subscribe and unsubscribe to STAT-L and a lot of other lists.
SPECIAL WARNING!!! Please, please, please note that subscription requests go to the LISTSERV or MAILBASE address. If you send a subscription request to the list itself, it will be read by hundreds or thousands of people, none of whom can get you subscribed. Some of these people will be annoyed enough at your naivete that they will introduce you to a concept known as "flaming".
ALBERT-GIFI -- The Albert Gifi mailing list discusses correspondence analysis, multidimensional scaling, nonlinear multivariate analysis, and optimal scaling

ALLSTAT -- Discussions on this list are similar to STAT-L/SCI.STAT.CONSULT, but there is a decidedly British flavor to ALLSTAT and a more U.S. flavor to STAT-L/SCI.STAT.CONSULT. This is particularly noticeable in the postings of meetings. ALLSTAT is a Mailbase system so it uses a slightly different syntax than the LISTSERV system.

Note: Contrary to previous information in this FAQ, you must include your name when subscribing. "Subscribe" can be substituted for "join," however. Here are some additional comments from Dr. Stuart Young, the list owner.
Note also, that while Allstat does indeed have a "UK flavour" it is not a discussion list. It is a "broadcast system" for distributing notices. Discussions are not encouraged on the list - replies go to the sender, not to the list.

SCI.STAT.MATH -- A more mathematical flavor can be found on this newsgroup, which sad to say, is not mirrored to any LISTSERVer.
