A non-moderated undigested electronic mailing list server. This
server has
<br>
been created for the electronic distribution of information
concerning old
<br>
farm tractors and related equipment. This is the primary component
of what
<br>
I call the "Antique Tractor Forum". Additional services in the
"forum"
<br>
are: a digest list, an archive server, and a gopher server. The
world wide
<br>
web server at Forsyth county also contains links to the gopher
server and
<br>
to the antique mechanics home page at the University of California,
Davis. You may join just the digest list, but unfortunately there
are some
<br>
restrictions(software's restrictions, not mine) in replying. To get
around
<br>
this, join the regular list as well, but set your account to nomail.
This
<br>
way you can participate fully.

                                           Anyone who wants to help
make and maintain an e-mail network of old tractor

lovers, parts suppliers, and just plain interested persons. Anytime

This list server is a NON-MODERATED list but I, Spencer Yost, (see
<br>
signature below), will manage it. I will do my utmost to keep it
running
<br>
and will not edit nor censure (translation: "remove from list") a
user for
<br>
any reason, however, my employer retains that right(it's their
machine). If they tell me to trash any user, or the entire list, I
must oblige.
<br>
<br>
I am facilitating on my own time using the county VAX. Therefore,
any mail
<br>
messages you send directly to me, I will not be able to respond to
until my
<br>
lunch or evening hours, so it may take me some time to get back to
you.

<br>
 - We conduct ourselves as Ladies and Gentlemen, refraining from
poor
<br>
    taste,language and judgement. (lest employer kills list)
<br>
<br>
 - We keep items relevant to ANTIQUE tractors, implements and farm
engines
<br>
    (No 1994 modified turbo 4WD stump jumpers here!).
