WHOA CHRIS!!  What ferret mailing list?
 
[The one that's been going on for at least a year, and is officially registered
with Gene Spafford's list of mailing lists.  That gets mentioned every
month in Gene's postings.  That periodically I drop broad hints about in
rec.pets....  Gotcha!]
 
How come I didn't know about a ferret mailing list!
 
[You mustn't have been paying attention ;-)  I've seen your postings in
rec.pets (and alt.aquaria I think) for ages.  I've dropped many hints during
that time...]
 
I have two ferrets...that means I should be on a ferret mailing list.
 
[Actually, that's more than sufficient - the real requirement is that
you have to be *interested* in ferrets.]
 
Well, I've also had two husbands, and I'm not on a husband mailing list....
 
[I'm not sure who moderates that one.  Certainly not me - I'm a husband...]
 
so I guess I need other qualifications?
 
[Nope]
 
For real, Chris.  How can I get on a ferret mailing list?  I
can't even send you mail...it bounces.
 
[You're on the list now.  You should be able to get stuff to the list
simply by mailing to "att!lsuc!eci386!ferret-request".  See the stuff
at the end of this item for more info.]
