Greetings from Maine!
	We are in the midst of a major ice storm. This is the second day of
freezing rain that coats layers of ice. Two more days are forecast.
Brian went back to high school on Monday following the holiday break,
and has been home since then. I fear that he may be going to school
until July 1 this year if the weather does not improve soon, as all the
allotted snow days will be used.

	I am writing to let you know that I have been trying to become
sufficiently computer literate to coordinate a listserv focused on
agenesis of the corpus callosum. The University of Maine agreed to host
the list and has provided me some technical assistance. I still am
trying to understand my role as the "list owner," but in the meantime,
I think we are ready to invite you to subscribe if you wish to
participate. Briefly, you can subscribe by doing the following:

1. Send an email to:
	Listserv@maine.edu

2. Leave the subject line blank.

3. For the message, simply write:
	subscribe acc-l (first name last name)

You will receive a message from the UMaine computer asking you to
confirm that you wish to be added to the list and explaining how to
make that confirmation. If you confirm, you will receive two messages
that provide instructions as to the operation of the listserv. I always
make a paper copy of messages like those to help me when I forget how
the system operates.

I have set this listserv up as an open list, meaning anyone can
subscribe and post messages. I invite people to give me feedback as to
how the list is operating as people begin posting messages. Please
remember, I am new at this role. I will do my best to facilitate the
list operation. Welcome aboard!
