Hi friends!

Someone asked me recently, "Why someone should join a small network like
Harenet?"

My first reaction was, why not? <grin>  I did give it some thought though,
and came up with a good number of excellent reasons.

First of all, it's cheaper on the phone bill!  Another issue, is that 
small means more intimate, less "rules", and you get to know the folks
who are in the network.  New users aren't overwhelmed by the sheer mass
of people... and they will seldom get "slammed" because they ask a 
"silly question".

HareNET is a small network, but some of the people who have been involved
in the network are rather knowledgeable, experienced folks.  Among the 
members are...

echomail guru's
computer programmers
computer dealers
a windows beta tester
a major super-regional sysop
some extremely knowledgeable DOS users

And... they are all kind and considerate people, who will make a real 
effort to help anyone who asks, and enjoy chit-chat.

Last but NOT least... is the track record of systems and sysops that have
joined HareNET.  It seems that HareNET provides a good platform for folks
to get acclimated to echomail.  Once they have been participating in HareNET
for a while... the users (and sysops) seem to be able to join whatever other
networks they wish... and fit right in.
