     related  mailing  list  out there in cyberspace.  Here follows an
     incomplete list:

     *  The `Nihongo Discussion Group' covers  pretty  much  the  same
        ground  as  the  news  group and is posted to it as well.  For
        subscription     information      and      archives      visit
        <http://funnelweb.utcc.utk.edu/~lacure>.
     *  The `Gakusei Mailing Lists' are a bunch of mailing  lists  for
        informal conversation in Japanese.  There are lists on several
        levels of  proficiency  and  separate  lists  for  romaji  and
        kanji/kana  posts  and a list devoted to grammar (in English).
