NEW USER INFORMATION This system is used as a private online club. It is our aim to bring people together for relaxed, entertaining conversation. At the same time, we can serve as a way to obtain information: when there's something a member wants to know, he or she frequently finds that another member of the club can help out. ======================================= QUALIFYING FOR MEMBERSHIP Non-members do not have access to the all-important READ command. Their list of commands is short and simple: BYE ........ Disconnect from the system HELP .......... List available commands INFO ............. Display this article SEND .......... Let you write a message SPECS ........... Set your screen width You can use the SEND command to leave a message about yourself. You can tell us what interests you, or state your opinion on something. You can leave several messages, on several occasions, if you wish. We regularly read these messages from potential members. If we feel that you are the sort of person who would enjoy our company, we'll make you a member. In most cases, getting accepted for membership involves SENDing only two or three messages over the course of a few days. After you've introduced yourself in this way, call in every couple of days to check your membership level. (The membership level is reported at the start of your visit, right after the announcements, if any.) We're hoping you're just the right kind of person for our conversation club. Good luck! ======================================= DISCLAIMER This service is being presented on an "as is" basis, with no guarantees or warranties express or implied; the user is hereby informed that the operator does not accept responsibility for any circumstances such as may arise due to usage of this system. ======================================= For more information about this software and other fine products, write to: --------------------- - PINNACLE SOFTWARE - Box 714, Airport Road Swanton Vermont 05488 ---------------------
