Get Connected with an Astronomical Listserv
An E-mail list server, or listserv, is a free and easy way to stay connected with your fellow astronomers, both inside and outside of TAAS. 

With a listserv, you become part of a limited group of people that can send and receive messages to the group with one e-mail address.  Messages must be related to the listserv's topic range, and must conform to basic rules of behavior.

TAAS-L List Serve Rules:
  1.  The TAAS-L is for group discussion, not for private messages.  
  2. If subscribers wish to engage in private messages they will be asked to use private email, rather than the group list.  
  3. The list is for information exchange and discussion, and thus is not a suitable place for personal attacks, arguments, insults, etc.  
  4. List subscribers are generally limited to TAAS members and the Board of Directors sanctioned TAAS-L committee must approve all subscribers. 
  5. The list is not to be used for commercial purposes, although personal For Sale and Equipment Wanted notices are encouraged.
