Just in case you don't get enough kite stuff through rec.kites, I think
it's time to try out IRC.  Don't expect the same depth of information
that you find in the newsgroup, it's more a place to drop in for a chat
with kite flying friends.

To join, you need to be on a machine connected to the Internet.  The detail
may be different for you, but here's how you do it round here:

Run irc: Either type irc at the prompt, click on the irc icon or telnet
to an irc server.

Join the "rec.kites" discussion group:  Type "/join #rec.kites"

Now, things you type are echoed to everyone else who's on.

I'll be connected most of the time (my name on IRC is "gaffer"), but I might
not be paying attention.  Write a message with a bell character (Control-G)
to wake me up (but if it's not between 9:00am and 5:30pm in the UK it might
be ringing in an empty office...)

Anyway, drop by and say hello...

Andrew
