INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIGNING ON TO YAHOO CLUB AND CHAT

September 23, 2001

If you do NOT have a yahoo account already:

Go to www.yahoo.com Click on Yahoo mail, free for

life. Click on New User, Sign Me Up. Lie about the

usual questions (Name, Zip code, occupation, etc.) If

it asks for your age be SURE to say you are over 21 or

it may ask you for a credit card or social security

number to verify your age. Don't shoot me I'm just

the messenger!

Once you have a yahoo account:

Go to the address (cut and paste if necessary)

http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/relapsingpolychondritis

In the upper right there is a link that says " Join

this Club. " Click this.

Type in your ID and password if it isn't already

there.

It will email you instructions for joining the club.

Read the email that says, " Welcome to Relapsing

Polychondritis. "

Click on the address contained in this email, click on

Yes I accept terms of agreement. It will take you to

the " club " page. In the left hand column is a link to

" Chat " , click on that. Be patient, go get a cup of

coffee, it can take a minute or two to get you into

the chat part.

If it asks you to download any software, say " yes " and

let it go.

You're there! I hope. This is more complicated than

I thought.
