This is the information page for MADNESS.  It is
automatically sent to all new subscribers, and to anyone who
asks for details.

MADNESS is an electronic action and information discussion
list for people who experience moods swings, fright, voices,
and visions (People Who).  MADNESS creates an electronic
forum and distribution device for exchanging ways to change
political systems that touch People Who, and for
distributing any information and resources that might be
useful.  A basic premise of science and research is also a
value of MADNESS: to share your findings with others.

To communicate with other People Who,
mail messages to 
          MADNESS@sjuvm.stjohns.edu  
(LISTSERV will translate the name MADNESS, 
know that the message goes to a list,
LISTSERV will receive the message, understand the name of 
the list, and automatically send a copy of your message to
each subscriber.)

There are several other electronic information resources and
other more support oriented resources for People Who.  An
updated resource list is available through LISTSERV.

If you'd like to have the other subscribers meet you, you
may send a message to the list, Subject: Introduction.
 
MADNESS is managed by a computer program named
LISTSERV.  To command the program, send an e mail message to
