| Hi August, I think that anonymity is the keyword for AS3 Help. I don't
| mind answering your questions, however. We don't get a crowd of people
| using this service. Certain times of the year probably bring out more
| people than at other times. Just as in the summertime it gets slow here
in
| AS3, it seems to have done the same thing in AS3Help.
|
| How it works is each week I post this message to AS3. Anyone can ask for
| help. In other words private emailing. They can be people that do or
don't
| already post here in public. Maybe someone needs some more personalized
| help or they need help with something they don't want to post about here.
| Everyone is welcome.

This part doesn't make sense.... sorry...... It pertains to the volunteers
that make up the heart of AS3Help.


| I have a list of people that are part of this special group. They are all
| different kinds of quitters from AS3. Some are current posters and some
are
| not but still want to be of help to someone who wants to quit or is quit.
|
| AS3Help welcomes all volunteers for this honor. If you'd like to be on
the
| list just send an email to AS3Help@xxxxxxxxxx
|
| I'm not sure it's wise to give out 'stats' for an anonymous service. I
hope
| I've given you the information needed to appease your curiousity.

|| We know there are a LOT of folks who get what they need here just from

||
|| Still interested to know what the current stats are like....

are

|| I just think it would be nice to know more about this part of AS3 and how
| it
