Well, assuming you are not a troll, you did pick the wrong guy to talk
about Confucius and Chinese.  I wonder if you are able to reply when Bob
writes to you in fluent Cantonese (or is it Kantonese?) :-)

A pariticipant in the other list you mentioned and one of Bob's best
friends in Italy :-)

I am Jewish so my reply will be a question:
Why not?

>What's the difference?

One list is running on the Brown University server and the other on the
server of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga :-)

Beside that?
Scuba-SE has been a very quiet list until last June.  Then there was an
enourmous cyber war on scuba-l and some of us migrated to scuba-se, where
the honorable Jeff Kell who runs this list, gave us refuge.

You can subscribe to both and decide which one is more appealing to you (or
you can read both and write to both, as long as you don't crosspost).
