Subject: Electrostatic Processes - Mailing List

About a year ago a group of researchers in the field of electrostatic
processes started a mailing list to share news within their area of
interest.  The list is supported by the J. of Electrostatics,
IEEE-Industry Applications Society (Electrostatic Processes Committee),
The Electrostatics Society of America, The Institute of Electrostatics
- Japan, and a few other organizations.

      Currently, there are about 120 readers.
  As moderator (of the unmoderated group), I invite readers of
sci.physics.plasma who are interested in electrostatic processes to
subscribe to the mailing list.  I am also announcing the existence of
sci.physics.plasma to our readership, since there are some
cross-cover interests.

To subscribe, send a message to me at address
      electro-list-request@vu-vlsi.ee.vill.edu
