Hi Everyone,
Some time ago, Paul started a new web site for helping to create and
distribute FREE labs for people who are not associated with commercial
labs. This forum is not for distributing copyrighted material, but for
creation of donated material created by you with the understanding it
belongs to everyone. This web site is fairly inactive and will probably die
if more people are not interested in participating.
I would hate to see this effort die after all of the hard work Paul put into
this.
After all, the forum you are now participating in would not be possible if
not for Paul's hard work and sacrifice. We should return the favor and help
Paul's dream come alive. Please visit
and visit the forums.
To join, under the user's login, create an account. You will then should
be emailed a password. Then Join and participate in the forums and see if we
can get this project moving. The results of your efforts will pay off in not
only helping to better your knowledge but in helping others just as this
one, groupstudy.com, is already doing.
Come on everyone. Lets make this happen
Richard
