+1.2 What is a mailing list?</a>
+</h2>
+
+<p>
+A mailing list is simply a list of addresses to which the same information
+is being sent.  If you were a magazine publisher, you would have a list of
+the mailing addresses of all the subscribers to the magazine.  In the case
+of an electronic mailing list, we use a list of email addresses from people
+interested in hearing about or discussing a given topic.  
+
+<p>
+Two common types of email mailing lists are announcement lists and discussion 
+lists.  
+
+<p>
+Announcement lists are are used so that one person or group can send
+announcements to a group of people, much like a magazine publisher's mailing
+list is used to send out magazines.  For example, a band may use a mailing list
+to let their fan base know about their upcoming concerts.
+
+<p>
+A discussion list is used to allow a group of people to discuss topics amongst
+themselves, with everyone able to send mail to the list and have it distributed
+to everyone in the group.  This discussion may also be moderated, so only
+selected posts are sent on to the group as a whole, or only certain people are
+allowed to send to the group.  For example, a group of model plane enthusiasts
+might use a mailing list to share tips about model construction and flying.
+
+<p>
+Some common terms:
+
+<ul>
+<li>A "post" typically denotes a message sent to a mailing list.  
+	(Think of posting a message on a bulletin board.)
+</li>
+<li>People who are part of an electronic mailing list are usually called 
+	the list's "members" or "subscribers."  
+</li>
+<li>"List administrators" are the people in charge of maintaining that 
+	one list.  Lists may have one or more administrators.
+</li>
+<li>A list may also have people in charge of reading posts and deciding
+	if they should be sent on to all subscribers.  These people are called
+	list moderators.
+</li>
+<li>Often more than one electronic mailing list will be run using the same
+	piece of software.  The person who maintains the software which runs
+	the lists is called the "site administrator."  Often the site administrator
+	also administrates individual lists.
+</li>
