Welcome to Issue Five of CoNnEcTiOnS.  Each month CoNnEcTiOnS gets bigger
and better, thanks to CoNnEcTiOnS Readers who take the time to contribute
Articles and Correspondence.  This Issue of CoNnEcTiOnS, is a little later
than anticipated, due to the fact that CoNnEcTiOnS has been very busy this
month.  Not only have we delivered the *EXCLUSIVE* CoNnEcTiOnS AMIGA FORMAT
Special-Edition to AMIGA FORMAT Magazine, but we have created a *NEW* HTML
Version of CoNnEcTiOnS, which ultimately lead to the launch of two Official
CoNnEcTiOnS Web-Sites this month, operated by CoNnEcTiOnS Readers, Dave
Clarke and Paul Green.  Thankyou guys!!!

The fact that CoNnEcTiOnS Readers have approached CoNnEcTiOnS, volunteering
to host an Official CoNnEcTiOnS Web-Site, is indisputable proof, that the
popularity of CoNnEcTiOnS is on the increase, something that SysOps should
seriously consider, if they haven't yet registered their BBSes with us here,
at CoNnEcTiOnS!!!

This Issue of CoNnEcTiOnS features more Scottish BBSes, thanks to Steven
Winetrobe (SysOp Of SoD BBS Blantyre), who provided CoNnEcTiOnS with
details of many Scottish BBSes, that were still serving the UK BBS Scene.
The fact that we haven't discovered these long-time BBSes until now, leads
us to believe that there are still many BBSes out there in the UK, which as
yet, do not appear in CoNnEcTiOnS.  This is where we need YOUR help!!!  We
need to know from SysOps and BBS Users alike, about any BBSes you either
operate or frequent, that aren't listed in this Issue of CoNnEcTiOnS.

Remember, CoNnEcTiOnS is getting wide-spread coverage, and that wide-spread
coverage is helping to increase the popularity of CoNnEcTiOnS, and that can
only be good news for the current UK BBS Scene.  We especially would like
more information on Welsh & Irish BBSes, as CoNnEcTiOnS appears to present
a very bleak picture on the UK BBS Scene in these areas, so if YOU can help
put the record straight, then please, please, please get in touch ASAP!!!

Last, but not least, CoNnEcTiOnS would like to yet again thank AMIGA FORMAT
Magazine, in particular Ben Vost (Editor Of AMIGA FORMAT Magazine), for
his continual support for the UK BBS Scene.  With CoNnEcTiOnS now being
delivered to AMIGA FORMAT Magazine every month, for inclusion on their
Cover-Mounted CD-ROMs, CoNnEcTiOnS hopes that this new distribution will
reap rewards for AMIGA FORMAT Magazine, just as much as CoNnEcTiOnS, and
ultimately breathe new life into the UK BBS Scene, something that we at
CoNnEcTiOnS set out to do from the very first Issue!!!

See you Next Issue...
