It's an active (but closed) list developed by Dr. Hal Caldwell at Ball State University and managed by Bill ("Shoes") Johnson, formerly at the University of Delaware and now at the College of New Jersey. If you're interested in subscribing, just send the message: Subscribe ACADV (your name) to listserv@listserv.nodak.edu
