   ==========================================================================   
   NOTE: All of your personal information will be held in the strictest of   
   confidence.  I will not give out any of your personal information to   
   anyone except your mail hub (uplink) unless I have your express permission   
   to do so or am ordered by a court of law.   
      
   Please fill out all of the information requested below and return this app   
   back to me, Andrew Leary, via the following:   
      
     -- Email  : ajleary19@gmail.com (please use the subject line of "NixNet Node   
                 Application")   
      
     -- Netmail: Send it via netmail to 1:320/219@fidonet or   
                 86:86/1@nixnet.  If you are sending via routed netmail,   
                 please put the application in the body of the message as   
                 file attachments are stripped using routed netmail.  If you   
                 use BinkP, my system accepts crashmail.   
      
     -- FTP    : Drop off your app at phoenix.bnbbbs.net in the pub/incoming   
                 folder.  Make sure to let me know your app is waiting!   
      
   Give me about 48 hours to get your application in the system.  I should   
   either netmail or email you back within that time about your application   
   status.  If it's approved, I will forward it to your new mail hub and you   
   two will work out your network connection.   
      
   If I don't respond to you within 48 hours, please email me and /nicely/   
   ask me what's going on.   
      
   Please save this application using your last name as the filename and   
   ".app" as the extension.  If you have non-US characters in your last name,   
   please just use standard ASCII with the filename or else my system will   
   not recognize it.   
      
   One more thing: please delete this header from the application when you   
   submit it.  Shows me you can follow directions! :)   
      
   ******************************************************************************   
   * NOTE: I reserve the right to refuse an application with or without reason. *
