how to use Lojban list

[bob@gnu.ai.mit.edu]

It would be a good idea to make a new posting on how to use Lojban
list posting with updated info; also give WWW page and Archive
addresses.  I have received several requests for info recently, people
saying that messages to the request or whatever addresses failed.
(snark may not be forwarding any more).  Here is my current (and
I think correct) how-to file:


World Wide Web page for Lojban is

  <a href="http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/";>The Lojban WWW Page</a>
