This might be some way off, especially because it would require complete
online delivery of magazines etc. Also need some fancy crypto-tech at your
end. Please keep this in mind though.

Subject: META: Extropians list to become two lists
>Within a few days we will be making some changes.
>
>The Extropians list will become two lists:
>
>Extropians-Open -- this will be the direct descendent of the current
>Extropians list. Its nickname will be "Extropians" and posting to that same
>address will continue to work. This list will be open to everyone, member
>and non-member, Extropian, non-Extropian, and anti-Extropian alike. All
>topics are open to discussion, including "the basics".
>
>Extropians-Select -- this will be for Extropy Institute members only.
>Rather than debating the basic values shared by Extropians, the purpose of
>this list will be to discuss ideas in depth, to post news items, and to
>discuss strategies for spreading extropians ideas and for implementing them
>in our own lives (life extension, intelligence increase, psychological
>improvement, etc.).
>
>ACTION ITEM: To remain on this list (becoming the Extropians-Open List),
>you need do nothing. To make sure you are on the Extropians-Select List,
>you need to (a) make sure we have your current email address; (b) make sure
>your ExI membership is current. If you're not sure (the expiration date was
>on the mailing label of the last issue of Exponent), call or email me and I
>can tell you. You can renew by using the online form at
><www.extropy.org/join.htm>, or by emailing me your credit card info,
>address, etc. (to <more@extropy.org>) or by phoning (310) 398-0375
>
>Please note that I will be leaving later this morning to head north for the
>Foresight Institute meeting, and so will be away from my email until late
>on Sunday. Any questions about the running of the two lists can be
>addressed to ExI's Electronic Communications Officer David McFadzean
><david@lucifer.com>.
>
>Onward!
