E-mail Discussion Lists

As part of my program for the 1998-99 fiscal year for the AFMS the establishment of a web site for the AFMS was approved and funded. The site has been established and contains much good information for anyone interested in our wonderful hobby. We will continue to add to the site and look forward to an even better site for your use.

One of the items we are adding is a series of discussion lists such as the one for faceters. We are working on several other lists. It has been suggested that we only need one list for the entire hobby. That may be true but the pure bulk of information makes a single list so unwieldy as to be a terrific burden on the list moderator and on the persons(s) using the list. It has, therefore, been decided to establish, or link to, several lists for faceters, lapidary (other than faceting), silver smiths, gold smiths, webmasters, newsletter editors, etc. Many persons will only make use of a limited number of these lists and will thus not require access to, or be forced to peruse, all of the entries in the lists.

Again, welcome to our first list and we hope to see you back many times again.
