RISKNet

RISKNet encompasses a mailing list (described below), and gopher and web servers devoted to the discussion and dissemination of scholarly information concerning risk and insurance issues. The RISKNet mailing list is devoted to promoting online "no holds barred" discussions of risk and insurance issues.
