The list is for "For Internet and genealogy
newbies".  John's list at

http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail_info.html

provides the following information:

"GEN-NEWBIE-L (assistance to people new to
computers and genealogy)"

which links you to

"GEN-NEWBIE-L. A mailing list where people who are
new to computers and genealogy may interact using
a computer's email program. It's like a bouncing
ball, with someone asking a question and others
suggesting answers, or asking more questions. The
list discusses genealogy, family history, computer
applications, and a wide variety of other topics
with a goal of assisting anyone who wants
"community coaching" about the Internet,
genealogy, computers, or whatever. To subscribe
send the following to
gen-newbie-l-request@rootsweb.com: subscribe"

All newcomers to computers and genealogy are
welcome.
