As a result, a cafe can be a very pleasant place to conduct interesting discussions which last over a period of several days or weeks. Just like a real cafe, an online cafe has a manager who is responsible for keeping order. The manager does not moderate or approve postings, nor is he or she required to be discussion leader. This cafe has been going since April-97 and is quite active and enjoyed by all the participants. Anyone with an interest in the great books or the great ideas is welcome.
Any message posted in either cafe is available to participants in the other cafe.
Imagine two cafes side by side on the street, with two doorways and different personalities, but sharing a common area where everyone can mingle. The SpaceWays Cafe is just getting started, in conjunction with the new electronic weekly magazine, SpaceWays Weekly . This cafe is open to all who want to discuss the stories in SpaceWays Weekly, or any other aspects of science fiction. Please don't post any spurious messages at these cafes. They have real subscribers who would be bothered.
