THIS IS A NON PROFIT MAKING VENTURE. PLEASE READ ON...

This message is NOT an advert and I'm NOT selling anything. I just want 
to bring a new service to the internet that will help people. It has 
been posted to lots of newsgroups but this is necessary for it to 
work.
This will be a 100% FREE service, no one pays anything!
Thank you to those people who have already showed interest in the idea.
If you disagree with the idea that's fine, but I have had a lot of 
people saying that it is a good idea so please do not respond unless 
your 
interested.

The IDEA,

I'm collecting the names and e-mail addresses of people who feel they 
have a good knowledge and interest in a particuler subject/interest.
I am going to publish the whole list onto the www, it will be 
called HelpBase.
These people must have a good knowledge of their specialist subject and 
must be willing to take questions from people on their subject area.
The subject can be anything from 'computer programming' to 'Tia-chi'!
The database will be open to anyone and everyone and each person will be 
entered under their subject area with a e-mail link and a web page link 
if you have one.

The only thing that you will get out of this is satisfaction of knowing 
you have helped people, with out the support the service will not be 
able to run.
If you have a web page I will put a link to it for you, this will 
provide a bit of free advertising for you but you must still be willing 
to help the people that mail you.

If you start getting flooded by e-mails you can mail me and I will take 
you off the database or find more people with your specialist subject to 
take the pressure off.

If you are interested please complete this return form.

Name (Last First)         :

E-mail address(s)         :

Webpage(s) URL (optional) :

Special subject(s)        :

Description of what you cover in your subject area :



I fully realise that this is the idea of newsgroups but from past 
experience, you get a lot of people joining in not knowing what they're 
really talking about and lots of people have nothing better to do than 
shout abuse at people.

Thank you for your support.
