Electronic Packaging Prep

For those of you lucky enough to still have immunity against information overload, a listserv is a peer-to-peer exchange of information on a specific topic that takes place via e-mail, rather than through a Web site bulletin board or a live chat room.

It works like this. First you post an e-mail to the forum address. The e-mail is received at a Web site where it is processed, archived, and immediately rebroadcast to all the members on the list. Members read your e-mail, post a reply or a rebuttal addressed to the forum, and the cycle starts again.
