Aaron makes some good points that many of us take for granted.

I should mention, though, that the site at http://www,bee-l.org is 
going to look different to different people because each of us can 
customize our experience there and set preferences.

I'd recommend not to go there in a rush and expect that what you 
see at first is what you get.

Take fifteen minutes, minimum, vist the "Subscribers Corner",  and choose 
your preferences.  Try them out, play around, then decide if you like "Expert 
Mode" or not and which other settings are best.  The site will remember 
you when you log in in future.

Many BEE-L users never have visited the site, since BEE-L can be used
by email only, and some are happy with querying the server for 
searches and other functions, but most who take the time to learn the 
website  find the website an easy and intuitive way to particpate.
