hi chat et al,

>>information service"

>why not? what does it the service inply to you?

i do recognize that some sort of information service is implicit to
AWORC's activity and in fact we provide such service to a certain extent.
nonetheless, hesitate to stating ourselves as information service.  i
myself did use/copy this discription in the past but not so confidently.
i guess learning more about other internet-based information service
makes me wary of calling ourselves as such.  i now do not feel
comfortable about possibility of aworc being recognized as/classified
under something like "internet-based information service provider"
because it doesn't well explain AWORC. Besides this, if we detreminantly
want AWORC to become a sustainable information service, i think we need
to put much more time/money/thinking into it.

>>can we remove "service" and simplify it to "Internet-based women's
>>information network" ??

all for now, have a good day :)
