st: does anyone have info on a Statalistserv for beginners?

[Suzy <scott_788@wowway.com>]

I am a recent Stata listserv user, a beginner (self-trained convert from 
SPSS) Stata user, and a nonstatistician. I do think that this listserv 
is a bit more "friendly" for more advanced Stata users who also have 
expertise in statistics and programming. I have asked a few questions - 
of which one has received a reply. I've asked these questions after 
using the help and search commands, and looking on-line - Stata faq, and 
other websites. I guess what I'd like to say is that everything is 
relative. My questions - compared to the  majority of questions would be 
considered basic and probably inappropriate for this forum.  On the 
other hand, I have enough knowledge of  Stata to help those just 
starting out.  I think maybe there should be  more explicit information 
on the target audience this listserv supports.

I have recently heard of a European Stata listserv for beginner Stata 
users. I'm wondering if anyone has information that they can pass along 
to those of us who do consider ourselves beginners and would like a 
place that the 'basic'  Stata question can be asked and answered  
without  too much angst.

I'm happy to use Stata - a true convert, I'm  happy to receive e-mail 
from this Statalist, and I immensely respect those of you who take so 
much of your time and effort  to help with the majority of questions 
that are asked.

If someone does know of the beginner Stata listserv, please pass it along.
Respectfully,
Suzy
