In addition to being a note of welcome to mn-debate, this is a test posting to find out if messages from mn-debate are being forwarded properly to the mn-politics public forum and the mn.politics usenet newsgroup. The gubernatorial debate will take place from October 24 to October 28. Participants in the debate will include Arne Carlson, Jon Hillson, John Marty, Eric Olson and Will Shetterly. The Senate debate will take place from October 31 to November 4. At this time the candidates will include Rod Grams and Ann Wynia. This list, MN-DEBATE is an open subscription list which will not accept commentary from the general public. I, as moderator, will only forward messages from the Minnesota gubernatorial and senatorial candidates participating in the debates. I will also, from time to time, send administrative information, e.g. introductions to the candidates, debate questions, etc. If you would like to participate in the public forum of the E-Debates, write to: majordomo@MR.Net In the text of the message, say: subscribe mn-politics Enjoy the debates.
