First, welcome.

I certainly do not speak in any official capacity for the list, but 
there is no requirement to use a "Vironesque" nickname unless you 
want to; I have never used one. Your existing name is perfect, 
actually. _Ondatra zibethicus_ or the  Common Muskrat - you fit right 
in with Nutria and alga.

There is a archive of the list available at .

If you want to subscribe to a digest version of the mailing list, 
send an email to urth-request@urth.net with the text:

digest true

as the only text in the body of the message.

Ranjit Bhatnagar, the very generous fellow who is responsible for the 
existence of this list in the first place has prepared a summary of 
all you should need to know to participate in the Urth mailing list 
here:

http://www.urth.net/urth/join.txt

This should be the same info you get via email when you join the list.

I am looking forward to hearing what you have to say. You can't be 
any crazier than the last few people who have joined the discussion.
