Internet Discussion Groups / Lists

An Internet list is a special interest discussion group, individually managed by an Internet server known as a list server (commonly referred to as a Listserv, list processor or a list). Some lists are moderated by a list owner, while other lists are simply a free-for-all discussion without a person filtering the messages. Most lists can be provided to the user either in a digest form or on a post-by-post basis - directions for choosing this setting will usually appear in the welcome message you receive once you've joined the list.

Any member of a list may take part in a conversation or begin a new topic.

Many lists will have searchable archives, which are described in the welcome message.
