Hi Mike!

 ->  MD> the group to try and get them to all join.  I can create a
 ->  MD> specific security level where they have access to only the Ham
 ->  MD> Radio areas.  This would make it easier for them to navigate

 -> Wouldn't it be easier for you to just have them select a specific

 -> complicated security rules.

Right -- can get confusing when one not sure of the terminology -- 
checking out applicants' BBSes I'll sometimes get confused because I'm 
used to accessing one way and they do it a different way.  As for your 
user, I was thinking more setting up the account for them: "just log in"
Forgot a major detail: the system doesn't know what to do next!  I use a
script to get my e-mail -- your people don't have that luxury!

 MD> If he does join, I will let you know how it goes.

OK, thanks!
