BODYWORK
Bodywork & Massage Therapy Forum
A forum for both the layperson and the bodywork professional
to discuss various modalities of "healing" touch. Demysti-
ying human touch and educating about the body. Recent de-

------------------------------
c) Usenet Info Center [sic] (formerly the `Bible of Usenet')
For serious information about newsgroups (as opposed to the sloppy lists
found in many books and the short, often misleading, descriptions posted
in news.lists) check out the `Usenet Info Center'. Kevin Atkinson
has been putting together this monumental work with
help from many people across the Usenet. He is committed not to charge
anyone to redistribute the list.
The list is intended to include the following information about every
newsgroup:
a one line description of the group;
a longer description of the group;
a list of FAQLs that are posted to the group;
the moderator's name and e-mail address (for moderated groups only);
where and how the group is archived, if at all (not implemented yet);
the average volume of postings to the group;
the average number of readers;
a list of mailing-lists gated to or from the newsgroup.
Here's a reference to the frequently asked questions about that
document:
Subject: Usenet Info Center FAQ
Newsgroups: alt.internet.services, news.misc, news.admin.misc,
