- I Just got off the phone with Ken Hayes of Terrapin Tapes...
-
- He Greets everyone on ALL nets with a GREAT, Happy, and
- SAFE New Year!!!!
-
- He also wants everyone to know that he has changed his policy
- about the 5% discount (AGAIN, and HOPEFULLY for the LAST TIME)
- that he has not been granting all people who have a userid/address/
- node on the net...thus, let me PARAPHRASE What he said to me about this:
-
- Basically, Ken wanted to give the 5% discount to those people who
- actually paid for the access to the net....well, before this
- recent change, he felt that college students & people getting
- access via work places were NOT actually paying for access....
-
- Well, some smart person (student?) apparently convinced him that
- the students were actually paying for access indirectly via their
- tuitions,administrative fees, computer access fees, ...etc. The
- people getting access thru work were paying their employer via
- some means other than monetarily to have the ~priviledge to
- communicate over the net.....
-
- THUS, the following is new ~policy
-
- Terrapin Tapes (Ken), will give a 5% discount to all people
- having access to net AND having a proper user_id/user_address..
- He will check-up on accounts from time to time (he has limited
- access to net, so he will check), so people better be upfront with
- him if they actually do have a user_id!
-
- Anyways, that is IT, and from me to You
-
- Happy New Year and lets make it a VERY Grateful ONE!!!
-
- Cheers
