Dear Clearly,

I'm not really a representative of the group unless you go by ``typical
of others of the same class,'' maybe not even then. The only ``service''
we offer is information, lively debate, and discussion centered around
the topic of technical writing (communication) as a profession.

We offer this service in two flavors, passive absorption, or active
participation. That's about it. It's really great though. If you have
a question, throw it out. You'll get opinions, suggestions, discussion,
and help from others interested in the topic from around the world.

Topics range from theory and principles of communication to tools to
grammar and punctuation. Suggest you just sort of monitor the list for
a few days or weeks, to see if it's for you. There are a couple of other
AOLers om the list that may be able to help with the specific mechanics
of signing up on AOL.

Cheers,
