Sorry for the delay in responding, but I've been following up on a few
leads I've had myself and hadn't acted upon yet.  Here's what I`ve
found:

1.) There is a mailing list for all users of PCL operating out of
Xerox PARC:

	CommonLoops@Xerox.com

To subscribe, send mail to:

	CommonLoops-Request@Xerox.com

2.) I have seen references to a set of Common Lisp mail lists
operating out of MCC, including the following:

	Common-Lisp@MCC.COM
	Common-Lisp-Object-System@MCC.COM

If these are in fact mail lists, then the conventional way to
subscribe would be to send mail messages to:

        Common-Lisp-Request@MCC.COM
        Common-Lisp-Object-System-Request@MCC.COM

respectively.

I sent messages to both of these to subscribe.  After several days, I
finally recieved a message indicating I was on the Common-Lisp list.
Still no response from the CLOS list.

3.) Apparently, there are also some smaller mail lists for designers
of CL and CLOS:

        Common-Lisp@Sail.Stanford.edu
	Common-Lisp-Object-System@Sail.Stanford.edu

4.) Another list which I have seen references to, and suspect is also
intended for designers of CL and CLOS is:

	Cl-Cleanup@MCC.COM

but getting into this one is probably not a good idea unless you are
deeply involved in the Common Lisp standardization process.


I'd appreciate leads/info on similar/related lists.
