About This Site
Maintained by Peter C.S. Adams and Gordon Woolf.
Design philosophy: all information in this web site should be accessible to the intended audience regardless of platform, browser, or size of screen. Graphics are kept to a minimum to reduce download times. If you see a frame or an animated GIF, feel free to flame me mercilessly.
This site uses fully compliant cascading style sheets (CSS). Older browsers should display text in their default fonts, while more recent browsers will all display fully formatted text. (However, the styles sheets will look best viewed in Internet Explorer 4.0 or above.) The site also complies with major accessibility standards.
Colophon
The base font for this page is Trebuchet MS, a free font from Microsoft designed for on-screen readability at small point sizes. The headlines are 32 pt Times bold italic, combining elegance, classical proportions, and compactness.
The logo is variation on the original logo from Aldus PageMaker and depicts Aldus Manutius, a student of Johannes Gutenberg and inventor of italics. This is to echo the roots of desktop publishing, both in the 1450s and the 1980s. The logo uses Courier from ITC to evoke the feel of metal type and Poetica from Adobe Systems to evoke the era of hand lettering.
Made on a Macintosh using Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia DreamWeaver.

What is Listserv?
Listserv is a mailing list subscription manager written and sold by L-Soft. It automates tasks like adding and removing subscribers, managing bad email addresses, keeping the list archives, etc. Other mailing list managers include Lyris, Majordomo, and Listproc. There are also web-based mailing list managers like Topica. Listserv is not the only mailing list manager, just the oldest and best.
Note that Listserv is a registered trademark. It is not synonymous with mailing list manager, just as "Xerox" is not synonymous with "photocopy."
