I have gotton responses from the people who are interested in participating
in an IRC discussion group about Celiac Disease.  Everyone who responsed
was in the Eastern, Central or Mountain time zones of the USA or Canada and
all were pretty flexible as far as time goes.
 
I will set up a channel for two meeting dates this coming week. Tuesday
evening, July  2nd  at 9:30 P.M. Eastern time and again on Sunday, July 7th
at  6:00 P.M. Eastern time.  Once we establish the channel and determine
the level of interest, we can decide when and how often to meet.   Please
feel free to join even if you did not respond to the original survey.
 
I will name the channel         #celiac
 
Also, to determine anyone who is an unwanted visitor to the channel, I will
ask you for a password when you join.  The password will be:
glutenfree
 
My nickname on the channel will be :    andi_
 
If you are unfamiliar with IRC, please take the time to read the
information on the web pages that I have listed below.  If you do not know
how to find information on the web, but do have access to IRC, contact me
and I will see if I can e-mail you some information from the web pages to
get you started.
 
I usually use one of the following servers:
 /server irc.rutgers.edu
/server irc.ais.net
/server irc.cris.com
/server irc.kern.com
/server irc.stealth.net
/server irc.funet.fi
 
There are thousands of servers.  Find the one closes to you that works!
I look forward to chatting with some of you next week!
