3) DON'T SEND UNSUBSCRIBES TO "meteorobs@latrade.com"!
4) NOTE: If the flood of messages on the main 'meteorobs' list ever
gets to be too much for you, be aware THERE IS A "DIGEST" VERSION
OF 'meteorobs' available! This packs all the postings for each day
into 1-3 emails, for easy browsing (or deleting)... Please contact
the list administrator (see "V." below) for more details.

end

III. Email anything you wish ALL OTHER SUBSCRIBERS TO READ to:
meteorobs@latrade.com
Keep in mind that messages sent to this address will be seen by NEARLY 200
PEOPLE all around the world, many of them busy professionals or
semi-professional meteor astronomers!
If you have ANY QUESTIONS about meteor astronomy, no matter how basic OR how
advanced, please feel free to send them to our list! But if you have anything
to say which is *NOT* RELATED TO METEORS, please reconsider posting it
publicly...
IV. ACCESSING OTHER INFORMATION. First off, try the dedicated Web site at:
http://www.tiacdot net/users/lewkaren/meteorobs
This Web site includes basic information about 'meteorobs', as well as a
pointer to our Web archive: here you can look over all the (more than 1000)
messages posted to 'meteorobs' over the last YEAR... And a search engine is
coming soon.
After that, there are a number of sites on the Web where you can get more
information on meteor astronomy, and amateur meteor observing in particular.
North American Meteor Network (a very friendly group):
http://medicine.wustldot edu/~kronkg/namn.html
International Meteor Organization (very official & informative!):
http://www.imodot net
American Meteor Society (another US-based amateur meteor org):
http://www.serve.com/meteors/
Data on the upcoming POSSIBLE "meteor storm" in 1998!!
http://www-space.arc.nasadot gov/~leonid/
Finally, if you've read all the Web sites and info files, and you STILL have
some questions, try posting them to "meteorobs@latrade.com"! That is what we're
here for...
V. Last, any questions on HOW the 'meteorobs' list works can be emailed to me,
the list administrator, at the address:
