 The new ILink Coconuts conference is restricted to ILink conference        
 Moderators and ILink member sysops.  Ownership of a pair of Coconuts is    
 not required to join the conference, however.  This conference is the      
 Official ILink Moderator R&R Conference, and, as such, it will have very   
 few rules.  If you are a tired, abused moderator, you definitely should    
 visit Coconuts.  Coconuts will not have a moderator, but the conference    
 will have a bartender.  Mike Cocke, a world renowned expert at mixing huge 
 batches of intoxicating distilled concoctions, has volunteered his many    
 years expertise to help get Coconuts off the ground, so to speak.  Void    
 where taxed or prohibited by law.

 Inspired by the Sunday comics and a sense of the absurd, this conference   
 is devoted primarily to fans of Bloom County and Outland.  These comic     
 strips blend social commentary and political satire with a warped sense of 
 humor and a skewed outlook on reality, all of which may be reflected in    
 the conference.  Fans of Calvin and Hobbes and Doonesbury are welcome.     
 Take a dandelion break and join in!
