[TriLUG] IRC lack-of-fun

[William Sutton]

Don't feel so bad.  I signed up for membership a couple years ago (almost 
2 1/2 I think) and never got a card.  I have a shell account to prove I 
signed up, but Intrex doesn't take shell accounts for discounts ;)  (not 
that this is a problem for me at the moment as I live out of NC, but I 
understand your situation).
