[Valeriy E. Ushakov]

I acked their subscription request, so, I hope, the list contents
will be soon available for searches. 

Best regards!

SY, Uwe.

Subject: request to archive mailing lists

Hi,

  InReference, Inc. has developed a search service (Reference.COM) that
  provides the Internet community fast, easy, and free access to Usenet
  and electronic mailing lists.  The service is made possible in large part
  by the contributions (software, hardware, communications infrastructure)
  of NASA Ames, Sun, Oracle, Verity, Pacific Bell, Storage Computer and
  others.  The service includes paid advertising from corporate sponsors,
  in addition to free advertising space for non-profits.  The service is
  both Web and e-mail accessible.  It is expected to be the largest online
  repository of Usenet and electronic mailing list archives.

  InReference's goal is to provide users with fairly complete coverage of
  Usenet and electronic mailing lists.  To this end, we would like to
  subscribe to the following lists that you manage:
        Lout

  By allowing us access to your lists, you will be making your content
  (current and historical) easily accessible to the Internet community,
  as well as your own subscribers. As an example, we archive the INDIA-L
  mailing list from indnet.bgsu.edu. The Internet community (and subscribers
  of this mailing list) can search and browse its contents at URL:
  http://www.reference.com/cgi-bin/pn/address@hidden

  If you want us to archive the above mentioned lists, please reply to this
  message. Include in your reply the names of the lists that you would like
  us to archive. Also, if there are other lists that you manage and would
  like to have archived, include their names also. If any of the lists are
  being gatewayed to usenet news, please mention the name of the group.

  Please do *NOT* subscribe address@hidden to any of the lists
  (list-manager is the alias for the person managing mailing list
  subscriptions). Should you have any questions regarding the service,
  please contact us at address@hidden

  If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you do NOT want your
  lists archived and we will NOT subscribe to them.

  Thanks for your consideration.

Q:  How much will users have to pay to get to the data I'm supplying
    you for free?
A:  Zero, nada, zilch.  Not now, not ever.  We will make our money by
    including ads on the web page, much like other free services do
    today.  Someday we may add premium services that will include an
    additional charge, but the base services will always be free to
    the end user.

Q:  Just who are you?
A:  We are a small startup located in Silicon Valley.  Our access to 
    database technology from Oracle, hardware from Sun, and high speed
    Internet access from Pacific Bell gives us a unique edge. Our
    technical team includes Eric Allman, the creator/developer of 
    sendmail and Professor Hector Garcia-Molina, head of the 
    Digital Library Project at Stanford University.

Q:  How will people access your service?
A:  Queries can be submitted and the results retrieved via the web 
    (http://www.reference.com) or by e-mail. See our home page for
    details.
