Skeptic NewsSearch to resume operations

[Agent13]

Some of you may remember the mailing list I operated at one time, containing links to news articles of interest to skeptics. I'd like to let everyone know that I'm going to restart the list, though I will not be posting the results to this board as I had in the past.

If you're interested in receiving the list through e-mail, you can sign up for the list by sending an e-mail to skepticsearch-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

You can also read find the articles on-line at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/skepticsearch/

Hi, that's great news but any reason why you won't be posting it here as well? :(

The URLs that different news outlets give their news articles don't always work right with the software that drives this forum. There were times before when I had to fix a third of the URLs after I'd posted them to the forum, and after spending eight hours picking keywords out of Google News, spending another hour trying to to hammer a bunch of pesky a hrefs back into shape just added to the aggravation level.

I'll be happy to post the URL for the newest lists to the forum as they're posted, and YahooGroups now provides an RSS feed for anyone who wants to follow the list using a news aggregator or via a LiveJournal account - http://rss.groups.yahoo.com/group/skepticsearch/rss

Thanks the RSS link - that's useful.
