I'm sorry if you misinterpreted my posting or I did not make it clear
enough. As I stated, the $60.00 credit is applies at the rate of $5.00
per month for the first 12 months.  Also, as I stated, The Source does 
have a monthly minimum of $10.00 per month, so, if in a given month, you
don't use the hour to an hour and a half that $10.00 works out to (depending
on the baud rate you use), you would normally be billed $10.00. With this sign
up, on such a month, you would only be billed $5.00.

Most of the people that use the SIGs on The Source use the system at least
an hour or an hour and a half per month. As the minimum DOES apply to
usage, if you use, say, $10.00 of connect time, you are billed $10.00
(the minimum is all applied to the connect time and so is cancelled). Now,
with the sign up offer, each month, durring the first entier  year, you
will be billed $5.00 less per month than you would be if you had simply
signed up. So, again, if you use $10.00 worth of connect time, you are
billed only $5.00.

Sorry if I did not make this plain, I thought I had.

And, since posting the message, I have ahd a lot of positive response to
it and I just want to say, "You're welcome" to all those that have
written thanking me for the offer.

I have also been told that "commercial" messages are frowned upon on the
net, so, if I have offended anyone here, my apologies. I didn't know
about that aspect of the net and will not post any similar messages in
the future.}i
