Mexico Resources on the Internet. !

http://groups.google.com/group/misc.activism.progressive/browse_thread/thread...

I have compiled a summary of electronic lists regarding Mexico and Mexican 
issues on the Internet.  As can be observed in this list, the number of 
discussion forums about Mexico is rapidly increasing, in some cases with 
some lists duplicating efforts or subjects already covered in other 
forums, which results in an improductive segmentation of audiences.  I am 
sending this summary to the Mexican lists in order to inform members of 
the available discussion forums regarding Mexico on the Internet, and 
hopefully to encourage the merging of lists, sharing of audiences, or 
clarification of lists objectives. Most of the lists shown here are 
bilingual (spanish-english). Note to list-owners:  If you want to add, 
modify or change anything about your list description, please e-mail 
directly to me.

USENET NEWSGROUPS

soc.culture.mexican is  very active.  Assorted subjects are discussed. 
                        ^^^^ 
If you have a question about Mexico and do not know where to post it, 
this is a very good place.  Most of the time you will get a quick response. 

To read USENET news you must have access via a news reader on your local 
system or through access to another system. Find out about local access by 
contacting your computer center or other internet access provider.  For 
example, the Peacenet and other IGC networks provide access to Usenet News.   

If you do not have access to a USENET news reader, you can still send 
an e-mail message to soc.culture.mexican.use...@decwrl.dec.com 
and ask that the answers be sent directly to your e-mail address. 
These newsgroups discuss almost anything relating to society, 
politics, travel, culture, etc. for the regions described.  The groups 
sometimes include postings from newspapers and wire services. 
Bilingual.  Spanish-English.  Much info is cross-posted 
to other lists. USENET groups often have a regular posting called an   
FAQ (frequently asked questions) that provides a lot of good information 
about the content and culture of the list
