W A R N I N G...

  A federally funded study has determined that HappyNet is _not_ year 2000
compliant. It has been discovered that at 0000:01 on January 1, 2000,
Happynet will revert back to net.general and begin spewing proposals for
aquaria groups. 

Talented and extremely dedicated developers are working frantically to solve
the problem and avert the coming crisis. 

Please remain calm. HappyNet Will Prevail.
