Really there need be no fears for this list.  Because we are so widely 
scattered in different time zones, and because there are so few of us, 
there will be little chatting done---that is already evident.  The main use 
of NB Writers Safeworlds will be for classes, and perhaps live 
international tech support (if Steve will agree to it).

There will be times, however, when it will be useful to get together with 
several of your friends at a predetermined time to work out a problem, and 
when those times come you will be glad NB Writers Safeworld exists.

I have sent your account info by separate email.

I have set up accounts for all that requested them.  If anyone has not 
received theirs, please let me know.
