BYTERAPERS The basic formula for members goes like this:
MEMBERFORM
"Name"
"Location, either the living place in Finland or country if elsewhere"
"Time of joining, lenght of membership"
"Description, work, achievements"Sometime during 1990's we sent a so-called "memberform" to our members with a number of questions. The idea was to put answers to our "memberdisk", which was spread among all (B) followers. Among other (B) information, those memberforms were to give information about other (B) members to those who didn't know each other so well, or lived far away. Filled and returned memberforms are listed both here in EX-MEMBERS and actual memberstatus-area.
* NOTE *
Remember those forms were filled sometime in 1990 and their content has not been touched for historial purposes.
