Subject: [alt-beam] Re: BEAM Info Center?
I never said it was a new idea, but it would be a lot faster, and likely
more convenient than a website (because you don't need to pay for internet
connection.
But I plan to put a compilation of EVERYTHING found anywhere in this. If you
don't think that's a good idea, fine. But please try to understand that I
wouldn't have posted the idea if I didn't think it would be preferable to
some around here.
And what do I want?
First you could call me by my name, instead of my dad's =)
Signing off,
Rob Rix
