The name of this list is sas-l (the letter l, not the number one). It is headquartered at Georgia Southern University and managed by Barbara Hendry (email:bhendry@georgiasouthern.edu, phone: 912-681-5362). It is also a moderated list, which means that your messages are previewed by the moderator(s) before they reach the rest of the list. If you have any questions, please contact Barbara.
