Subject: Re: [humanmarkup] Fw: Chat Room
Are you sure? I thought Sandy recommended against it because of that reason...I'll try and nail the issue, to make sure there is no misunderstanding. If so, I'll go with about.com then. Well, OASIS doesn't have a problem with how we go about signing up. Since we are basically serving as the guinnea pig for them, we could arrange it on our own separately for now. I'll give you guys a confirmation as soon as it's taken care of.
