Everyone,

There's been a question about what kind of message you get when a Live
>From Mars Web Chat is full. Well, so far, an LFM Web chat has never been
full, which means I've never actually closed the chat room down!

If the chat room was to fill up you would receive an email message that
says something like: "The chat with Jane Smith on Jan. 1, 1998 is full.
However, you may still participate in the chat by going to the Observe
Rooom at: http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/...... An archive of the chat will be
available in 2-3 days following the chat."

As far as registering for an LFM chat, the procedure is very simple. Go to
the chat page at: http://quest.arc.nasa.gov/mars/events/interact.html 
Scroll down the page until you see "RSVP." Click on this and an email box
appears. Write down the date of the chat and who it is with and send it
off. You will receive a confirmation note a day or so later.

You should know that in the very near future (1-2) the chat registration
process will be updated to the same process that other Quest projects are
currently following (Shuttle Team Online, for example). This new process
will be widely announced, in advance of a chat, and very easy to follow.
But for now, it's business as usual.

Hope this clears up any questions!
Sandy
