These available forums are experimental and may not cover all of the interests of subscribers. It may also be difficult to categorize a given write-up, meaning what some consider to be historical may also be political in nature. In cases like that subscribers are requested to make a reasonable judgment. Regardless of the difficulties though, we feel that we must start from a point and prepare ourselves to modify the guidelines as the needs come. HOW DO I SEND MY MAIL TO A PARTICULAR FORUM?
