Thanks for letting us know about this, Roger . I'll pop in next time I'm
free on Saturday evening.

So are most of the subscribers to this list using AOL, BIG? That certainly
wasn't my impression. What's the percentage? Most people in my area
(Vancouver, Canada) wouldn't touch AOL with a long pole because the
surcharges make it very expensive to use for us. The Internet, on the other
hand, is cheap or free to access. I should think that there would be enough
non-AOL people left to have a ferret IRC channel perking away quite nicely.

[Moderator's note: I was just pointing out the conflict to Roger. For all
I know the fact that the 233 FMLers from AOL might be chatting on AOL on
Saturday nights might be the very reason he picked the same time. :-) BIG]
