What's a discussion list?
A discussion list is an e-mail mailing list for subscribers. As a subscriber, you'll receive e-mail sent to the discussion list.

When you send an e-mail to the discussion list, it goes to everyone subscribed.

Discussion lists are typically focused on a certain topic, so the discussion lists on this page are focused on topics related to brain injuries, for example.

There are thousands of discussion lists available covering a wide range of topics. They are a great way to meet people with things in common, ask questions, and even make new friends.

For an introduction to discussion lists, see Learnthenet.com's article on Mailing Lists. http://www.learnthenet.com/english/html/24mlists.htm
