We're very casual, though it may take some effort on your part to meet people. But if you can come some time, please introduce yourself to an officer. We allow free rein on the machine as long as it's not detrimental to others. We have Usenet NNTP feed and allow mail in and out. The machines are Internet connected and serve as our web and email servers.
