Skeptical Alert Network Effort

The Association for Rational Thought maintains a local skeptical message service for skeptics in the greater Cincinnati area. The Skeptical Alert Network Effort (SANE) provides a highly irregular flow of messages of the following sorts:

• Messages of Cincinnati area skeptical interest
• Messages about the Association for Rational Thought
• Messages from CSICOP (Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, publishers of Skeptical Inquirer)
• Messages from James "The Amazing" Randi, magician and skeptic extraordinaire, who has founded the James Randi Educational Foundation for the propagation of skepticism in Florida.
• Messages from Michael Shermer, the editor of Skeptic Magazine.
• Messages of general skeptical interest

The SANE list is unmoderated -- anyone subscribed to the list can post -- but by far the most numerous items on the list are articles posted to other lists of interest to skeptics. In effect, SANE acts as a filter for those lists, and only articles that stand on their own make it to SANE. Our list members generally consist of people who want to receive this information, but don't have the time or inclination to deal with the dozens of message per day that contain the list conversations. Anyone is welcome to join the list, but if you already subscribe to CSICOP Announcements, Skeptic magazine's E-Skeptic, and the Skeptic list, there will be little on SANE that you won't see on them, except for messages of mostly local interest.

To subscribe to the SANE list, just go to SANE's subscription page at Yahoo Groups. (I wish they'd decide who owns it and what the domain name is. It's changed hands twice recently.) If you have any problems subscribing or unsubscribing using the eGroups web site, just send me email and I'll handle it for you.
