You might ask him whether additional extra credit is awarded if you also 
learn about the usual rules of conduct, sometimes called "netiquette". 
One of them is that persons posting to the listserv are expected to 
include their proper names at least, preferably accompanied by their 
affiliations (e.g., college or place of employment or home address, or 
combinations of these).  You might start by visiting the web site 
mentioned in the trailer automatically appended to this message by 
edstat.
Your e-mail program almost certainly has the facility to include 
a signature file (sometimes called a .sig) automatically;  and even if 
you think you have valid reason(s) for not doing that as a routine 
courtesy for all your e-mail, you can easily import such a file into 
your message for polite communication with listservs and other 
correspondents, and ought to do so.

Re: Joining edstat

[dennis roberts]

in my class, i gave students an option for doing some extra credit 
web/internet work related to stat ... and, the 4th of these was

1. to join SOME stat list (edstat was not THE list ... it was one of a 
number of possibilities ... i had given them mike fuller's great list of 
stat lists as one reference)
2. show me evidence that they did join
3. show me evidence that they posted some note to the list they had joined

i think this was a good thing for them to do (it was optional of course) 
... but, perhaps i should have been a BIT more specific about posting

however, i thought the main challenge would be for them to actually GET 
subscribed and to post ...
