ASAP has a regular and popular IRC channel, called #anx/pan, where people can ‘meet’ for realtime chat sessions. It runs every day on the Dalnet system, starting from 7pm East Coast USA time, midnight GMT. There are sessions at other times, to suit people in different time zones, currently including 6pm BST, 1pm EDT, on Sundays. Other times will be notified to this newsgroup as they occur. A complete guide to connecting to Dalnet, so that you can join the #anx/pan channel can be found at: http://www.skcldv.demon.co.uk/dalinf.htm AGORAPHOBIC? A complementary newsgroup, specially dedicated to discussing the problems faced by those with agoraphobia, has recently been formed. It’s called alt.support.agoraphobia HINTS AND TIPS It is best to read a newsgroup for a week or so before posting – especially if your comments might be controversial. Two topics particularly likely to cause trouble here are religion and the alleged addictive properties of benzodiazepine medications, such as Xanax. The convention on ASAP regarding religion is that preaching or exhorting others to follow any particular faith is not acceptable. It is fine to say that faith in X or Y has helped you individually, but *not* to suggest others follow your beliefs and especially not to quote religious works for the purposes of conversion. Regarding medication, it is extremely important that you check out previous postings on the subject (see below). The "addiction" issue has been exhausted several times over on this NG and detailed explanations of the medical difference between addiction and dependency have been posted on countless occasions. Please do *not* post inflamatory material on this subject. Read the earlier discussions. WANT TO DIP INTO OUR PAST? Most posts to ASAP are archived and can be invaluable sources of information about therapies, medications, symptoms etc. Posts can be accessed via: and/or http://altavista.digital.com NEED TO POST ANONYMOUSLY? It is quite acceptable for posters to withold their identities if need be, provided, of course, they post sensibly. For information on anonymous servers, send e-mail to: message. UNSURE ABOUT NETIQUETTE? If you are completely new to newsgroups and want to find out the general dos and donts, the following site provides FAQs and guides: http://sunsite.unc.edu/usenet-i/
