[Lynx-dev] A note on shellworld.

[Karen Lewellen]

David,
It is my understanding that the shellworld admin has personal reasons for 
not  allowing the creation of new accounts.  His father was profoundly ill 
for  some time as an example.
The last time I sent a perspective client in their direction, I was told 
that unless the person is rather self sufficient, they were unlikely to 
create  anything new for them.
granted contacting the admin,
admin at shellworld dot net,
would be far more direct than seeking marketing information on the web.
Karen
