>Dean,
>How would one go about subscribing to your list?  And is the general focus
>the scientific info?

You would send me a membership application.  And the general focus is
exclusively the scientific info.  About half of the members have
doctorates, and 3/4ths have at least master's degrees in medicine, biology,
paleontology, archaeology, or related fields.  References appear on around
half the posts.  On the other hand activity is much lower.  Part of that is
the summer doldrums, and part of it is that standards are MUCH higher for
what's allowed to appear on the list.  I'm rather proud of it, and am
looking forward to seeing it get more active as all the academics start
returning from summer vacation this fall.

Archives are to be found at
http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/paleodiet.html -- and just about
EVERYTHING in those archives is worth reading, by the way.  It's a gold
mine of useful information.  Posts by Staffan Lindeberg, Loren Cordain,
Jennie Brand Miller, Ron Hoggan, Ward Nicholson, Art De Vany, and Sally
Fallon are worth going out of your way to read, but I daresay the entire
back archives (which only go back a few months and only consist of a
hundred or so messages) are worth reading.

You can keep up with discussions solely by reading the archives on the web
(they're updated daily) or you can join and get the daily digests in your
mailbox by filling this out and sending it to me:

Thank you for  your interest in the Paleolithic  Diet Symposium listserv.
