Voices from the Net

 "There are a lot of folks with at least one foot in this complex

  voices on these wires. From IRC to listservs, MUDspace to e-mail,
  Usenet group to commercial bbs -- all kinds of voices -- loud and
  quiet, anonymous and well-known. And yet, it's far from clear what
  it might mean to be a 'voice' from, or on, the net. Enter Voices
  from the Net: one attempt to sample, explore, the possibilities (or
  perils) of net.voices. Worrying away at the question. Running down
  the meme. Looking/listening, and reporting back to you."

CRAM: the Cyberspatial Reality Advancement Movement

In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and
as a service to motivated information compilers, I 
(L. Detweiler) will help others unfamiliar with Usenet 
`publish' their documents for widespread dissemination via the 
FAQ structure, and act as a `sponsor' knowledgable in the 
submissions process. This document is being distributed under
this arrangement.

I have found these compilations tend to appear on various 
mailing lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider 
distribution. If you know of an existing compilation of 
Internet information that is not currently a FAQ, please 
contact me and I may `sponsor' it. The benefits to the author 
include:

- use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution:
  - automated mail server service
  - FTP archival
  - automated posting

- a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy,
  and coverage of the document enormously through email 
  feedback

- potential professional inquiries for the use of your 
  document in other settings, such as newsletters, books, 
  etc.

- with me as your sponsor, I will also take care of the 
  technicalities in the proper format of the posted version 
  and updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' 
  to focus on the basic updates alone

Send comments relating to the *distribution* of this document
(particularly relevant newsgroups not currently covered in
its current distribution) or inquiries on other documents to
<ld231782@longs.lance.colostate.edu>. 

The choice of who I `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always
have the option of handling the submission process yourself. 
See the FAQ submission guidlines FAQ in news.answers.
