SOREHAND is a San Francisco-based listserv mailing list for those with RSIs. You can choose to receive each SOREHAND posting as a separate piece of e-mail or select either a daily or weekly digest form of the list. The latter option is sometimes more manageable for people trying to limit their time at the keyboard. If your hands and arms are up to it, SOREHAND is a truly outstanding resource.
