IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!  THE NEWS FROM DAYTON VIA E-MAIL IS A REALITY!

Thanks to the generous help of Chris Zimmerman (y'know, the guy who
actually coined the phrase "My Own Damned Opinion," which I now
enjoy using on a regular basis), the NFD is gonna have a fully
automated mailing list, effective immediately.  [At this time, I don't
see any reason will would alter the current outlets for the NFD,
like my web page or RSPW.]

While the list is temporary (depending on Aimnet's ability/willingness
to provide this wonderful service for a bunch of mutant wrestling
fans), we hope that the list will be going as long as the NFD is
around!  [And with over 1000 folks per day stopping by the web page,
I'm not expecting a sudden loss of motivation!]

"Scaia, quit babbling, and tell me what to do to get on the list,"
I hear you screaming.  OK, here's what you do:

(1)  Send e-mail to "majordomo@aimnet.com"
(2)  In *THE BODY* (not the subject header), include these exact
        words:  "subscribe nfd"
(3)  Now, that was easy wasn't it?

If all goes well, you will get a message back very quickly.  In it,
you will be asked to "authenticate" your desire to be on the NFD
Mailing List.  This is a simple precaution to prevent assholes from
signing people up to be on the list who don't want to be on the
list.  The authentication process is not difficult; all you'll have
to do is send a second message to the majordomo address with an
authentication code.  Just follow the exact instructions in the
message, and you'll be OK.  Once you authenticate, the "Welcome to
the NFD Mailing List" message, co-authored by Yours Truly and CRZ,
will appearin your box.  It is our strong suggestion that you save
a copy, as it contains vital information about the way the list
will work and how to do things like unsubscribe (which we really
hope you'll take the time to do if you ever switch e-mail accounts
or anything like that).

The first e-mail version of the NFD will be the post-Final Four
edition, which will be dated February 17, 1997.  As will be
usual, it will come out late on Sunday or sometime Monday
afternoon.

So, if you want to get the NFD Weekly in your mailbox as it is
fresh off the presses (instead of waiting till I get it up and
going on my web pages), just follow the above instructions, and
you'll be signed up!  Just keep in mind that during the week,
nothing is a substitute for stopping by the NFD Web Site for
other great features, as well as regular updates on breaking
news.

Later.....
