I was wondering if one of the jugglers on the list could direct me in the
way of a juggling mailing list. My (very limited) usnet provider doesn’t
have rec.juggling so I need to search other routes for access to the online
juggling community. Is there an e-mail list like the unicycling list for
juggling? and if so how can I get connected? I looked through “Juggler’s
World” to no avail so I am using this as a last resort. Hope you can help!
