     A few weeks ago there was a post which referred to an IH listserver.  
     I don't recall seeing a public post as to where or how to subscribe 
     to an IH list server.
     
     Below is a FAQ from 
     http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~ebartosh/CAC/ih-list.htm which tells how 
     to subscribe to the AIHA General Interest Industrial Hygiene ListServ 
     (IH-list).
