Mailing lists and newsgroups are wonderful ways to find out more about any fandom. And for Highlander, as many fandoms, there are a multitude of lists out there. I'm providing this listing, as a way for new and old fans to find lists. I personally find lists the fastest, and most interactive aspect of online fandom. And with several free mailing list providers now operating, it has become a bit harder to find out about them all...
Things to keep in mind when joining a list...
Always read the website, and any FAQ's a list may have, there are always rules that should be followed on any playground. :)
Lurking is good when new to a list, it's not a good idea to plunge into a debate when you aren't sure what is being discussed, or why/how it came to be the topic of discussion.
Be sure to note the rules for Adult discussion topics, or topics that don't deal directly with the list topics.
And keep in mind flaming is always a no-no. Especially when a few hundred bystanders are also going to hear you make a fool out of yourself.
Mailing lists can severely increase the amount of e-mail you receive... So if you rarely check your e-mail.... It can be a really bad thing.I'm not a member of all of these lists, if I was my inbox would probably explode. And I am putting no preference on any of these, nor implying an association with this archive. This information is simply to help people find the lists.
