Dear beekeeper fellows! On behalf of beenet I forward this message to you!
 
 
                                  APITHERAPY on the INTERNET
 
 
As some of you may know I have been trying, for some time now, to establish
a forum on the Internet for Apitherapy discussion. This has not been as
easy task as I had originally assumed. Commercial list servers turned out
to be far to expensive and the university and government contacts I have
where, understandably, reluctant to give "outsiders" access to their
systems.
 
In discussing this problem in BeeNet. Olda, the regional coordinator for
Sweden, suggested I contact Ake Esperi, the current Zone coordinator for
BeeNet International  and host for the Swedish language beekeeping list,
and he agreed to  maintain the Apitherapy Mailing List (called APITHER) on
his List server.
 
This list is officially described as: "An international forum for the
discussion of Apitherapy at all levels -  Research, Clinical, Practitioner
and General interest."
 
The main language of the list is "English" but it is not mandatory.
 
The APITHERAPY Internet Mailing List (APITHER) has also been inter linked
with BeeNet International's APITHERAPY conference area. So the current
number of readers, as of today the 17 of October, stands at approximately
400+ representing  9 countries. Past experience has shown that, in forums
such as this, only about 10% of the readers are writers.
 
Ake has established me as the "owner" of the list. So if you have  any
questions or need help please don't hesitate to ask. I can be reached at:
"[log in to unmask]" or "[log in to unmask]".
 
For instructions on how to subscribe to the APITHERAPY Mailing List
(APITHER) please see below:

                               Apitherapy Internet Mailing List (Forum)
 
 So what is an Internet mailing list? Well it's a list of Internet
addresses of people with an interest in discussing a particular topic of
interest. In this case Apitherapy. Better known as "A List" in computer
slang.
 
It is composed of two parts the "List server" and "the List".
 
A "List server" is a computer and the software program that maintains a
mailing list.
 
In order to join a mailing list you must first tell the "List server" that
you want to Subscribe to the list by sending it a message like this:
 
         To: [log in to unmask]
       From:
    Subject:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
---
SUBSCRIBE APITHER
 
 
 
 
 
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
----
 
And that's all. The rest of the message should be blank.
 
If everything has gone OK, you should receive a subscription conformation
message within 48 hours.
 
The "List server" ( [log in to unmask] ) is also the address you send
maintenance messages to like:
 
HELP
 
and if you should ever wish to leave the list:
 
UNSUBSCRIBE APITHER
 
 
Writing messages TO everyone on the "LIST":
 
Just write the message as you normally would and send the message:
 
       To: [log in to unmask]
   From: "your name"
Subject: "what ever"
----------------------------------------------------------
 
So, to sum up:
 
You send a message to the "List server" ( [log in to unmask] ) if you
want to:
Subscribe to the list, Get Help or UnSubscribe from the list.
 
 If you wish to send a message to all the people on the list. You send the
message To: [log in to unmask]

 I bid you all WELCOME
