Hello my name is Terry Green. I have had an Amiga A1200 for over 7 years, one day I thought that I would start a Public Domain Software Library, and not being able to afford to pay for advertising I put an advert in our local Admag, a free ads paper, ever since then I have had people phoning me and asking for advice on how to do things on the Amiga computer.
So with me knowing a little bit about a lot of things I thought, I know, I will start an Amiga HelpLine to give free advice about all things Amigan.
The only trouble was I don't know an awful lot, so I put an advert in the Admag and the Amiga Format Readers Ads. My helpLine has now grown to over 40 people who are willing and able to give advice on most things of the Amigan.
If anyone feels that they can be of help to anybody else and that they want to join my Amiga HelpLine they can phone me on.
I HAVE HAD REPORTS OF PEOPLE HARASSING PEOPLE WHO HAVE GIVEN THEIR TIME FREELY TO HELP OTHER AMIGA USERS. COULD, WHOEVER IT IS PLEASE " STOP IT ".
IF ANYONE EXPERIENCES THIS TYPE OF THING COULD THEY PLEASE TRY AND FIND OUT THE NAME OF THE PERSON THAT IS DOING IT, INFORM ME " TERRY GREEN " AND THEY WILL BE " BLACKLISTED " AND WILL NOT GET ANY HELP FROM ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE HELPLINE LISTING.
However, apart from the above the helpline has I think been very helpful to a lot of Amiga users. If you have any helpful suggestions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

This section did have somebody in it. But it is as I said in the ABOUT section, this person got harrassed by somebody and asked to be taken off the helpline list.
If YOU think that YOU could help somebody at something Amigan, then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
The harrassement mentioned above is the only time that I know of that it has happened.
