Purpose of <>: --------------------- <> is a 100% dedicated, computer-linked information network. It is a loose organization of Computer Bulletin Board Systems hooked electronically via the Fidonet BBS network. Although we are currently in our infancy, we hope to soon have <> affiliated nodes in most of the major metropolitan areas and regions of North America, including eventually several overseas Nodes. The plans are ambitious, and our rules and organization is modest so as to help facilitate the realization of this goal. Our purpose is to act as unbiased forum for the exchange and dissemination of some of the latest and most current information in the field of "UFOlogy". We do not have an editorial policy, and pride ourselves on our objective approach. In addition to trying to be a conduit for some of the latest information available on UFO sightings and developments, we also have an extensive on-line file library which acts as a resource on past and present information regarding UFOs. If you are interested in learning more, and contributing to the discussion, then I welcome your participation. Though before you start posting, please be sure to read carefully about our Echo policy.
