cDEWEY-NET  The Library of Information And Idea Exchange Network!

I designed DEWEY-NET for the System Operator who wants to network with a 
small message group to host a broad range of messages to suit most anyone's 
interest. Message threads range from moronically fun to politically 
serious.

DEWEY-NET uses the ten divisions of the Dewey Decimal system to categorize 
all public message threads into ten message boards. Each user can 
theoretically create their own conferences by maintaining a well titled 
message thread on the appropriate DEWEY-NET board. 

I would prefer that DEWEY-NET be free to its users. However I do understand 
the need to have users reimburse the cost of Long Distance Charges.

DEWEY-NET BY-LAWS
I believe in free speech and I am down on sensorship. But you won't catch 
me yelling "Theatre" in a crowded fire house <g> and I expect users to 
use the same common sense.

System Operators reserve the right to move or delete any message thread 
deemed inappropriate for any DEWEY-NET sub-board OR for their BBS. Issues
Concerning DEWEY-NET will be discussed on the Syops Only sub-board.
DEWEY-NET tries to be a family oriented BBS with no X-rated material.
(Nothing lower than FOX television standards)
