If you’ve ever done any moderate googling on a SAS topic you’ve probably unearthed a thread on SAS-L, quite possibly from several decades ago.  You’d be forgiven for assuming that this simply something that “used to exist’ because - up until recently - that’s exactly what I thought too.

Well - how wrong I was.  SAS-L is still alive and kicking.  The “L” stands for listserv, and is a mail server run by the University of Georgia.  It’s basically a spamming service for SAS issues (am sure there is a better word for it though).

Getting started is as easy as 1,2,3:

1. Sign up to the listserv service: https://listserv.uga.edu/scripts/wa-UGA.exe?A0=SAS-L
2. Verify your email
3. Subscribe to SAS-L  mailing list: https://listserv.uga.edu/scripts/wa-UGA.exe?SUBED1=SAS-L

There is a ton of information on SAS-L on sasCommunity, and even a dedicated sugi paper.  So get involved - and you could be the next Rookie of the Year!
