I am new here. First I was wandering around outer perimeter of Church of Virus to which I was introduced recently. For some two weeks I was passing the link around, quoting the concepts of Virtues and Sins to people around me.
I have BA Philosophy degree. My primary topics of research in faculty were epistemology, ontology, methodology, philosophy of science, mind-body problem, logic, cognitive sciences. It is quite uncommon because here strongly dominates continental philosophy with interesting but sometimes a bit outdated meme complexes.
So, given the background of thinking, I instantly found this site to be a very interesting in the sense of organization of information. So, after two weeks or so (i.e. right now), I dedicated an evening to go into communication area to look for further possibilities.
I've noticed that there are mailing list archives, so I would like to ask if it is possible to download these messages somehow into my mailbox so that I can process them with normal mail-client for easiness of reading.
+ Also, on the main page it is not possible to join mailing list. I think it should be fixed and also I would like to receive information where can I subscribe to that list?
+ It looks interesting that profile picture is taken from other website while it is possible to attach files to every forum post, up to 400 Kb.
That is all for now. Will browse around and look further. Up till now it has been quite good impression about what is happening.

Welcome.
You can easily set-up a profile picture by including an appropriate image as an attachment to a BBS post (you might use the Test Board). Use an appropriate gif. Then look at the item you just posted. Right click the image and examine its properties. Then use the url on your profile page to point to it.
We are thinking about the handling of archives. In the meantime I suggest you consider joining the Meridon system. You might also visit the wiki to learn more.
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. - Steven Weinberg, 1999
