Subject: (MARX) OPE-L ARCHIVES ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB
I am very pleased to announce that the OPE-L (Outline on Political Economy) mailing list has decided to make our archives available to the public. OPE-L is a small closed list of Marxists which has been discussing controversial issues in political economy since September 1995. (A listing of current and former members appears at the end of this message). Our messages were *not intended for publication* -- they were intended to be read only by list members. We are therefore making our archives public subject to the following modest condition: *you may not indicate the authors of any quotes or messages that you cite*. This applies for *all* publications including Internet mailing lists and newsgroups. *You will be required to agree to the above condition before you will be granted access to the OPE-L archives*. Our WWW archives were created and are maintained by Iwao Kitamura. All archives are sorted by month. There is a search string that you can use and "monthly reviews" that you can access. The URL is: http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~ikita/OPE If you have any questions about the OPE-L archives policy or the list in general you should contact me at this address
