hm throws his hat in
email - mark dot jones-lunn at ntlworld dot com
Chosen subjects - Networking (wired/wireless), Broadband, Narrowband, Digital TV (Langley), Analogue TV and Telco.
Other subjects - Email, specifically OE, Internet (general), ADSL, NTL installation (whats used and where), NTL network.
Personally I think this site could also use a Glossary of terms, We dont want to go scaring people with TCP/IP and HFC now do we :D
Perhaps I could just help by making the Brews ;)

Sales & Marketing is my past life and Social Work my Career of choice. (Child protection & Welfare Rights being my specialities)
Main Hobby is helping people be that with any of my hats on including setting up and maintaining PC's for people with disabilities.
Main help I give on these forums is on the PC front but seem to have a working knowledge of "how stuff works" that has enabled me to give useful suggestions to those having tech problems.
Sociable by name and nature I do have a campaigning side too, as anyone here from the start will be able to confirm. On the very first evening .co.uk opened I started the very first CAP thread here just so I would feel "At Home". LOL
NB: Why not merge the other posts in the "Itroduction" thread with this one and keep all the details together?

Would love to help on a regular basis, but right now lack of appropriate available time slots is the enemy.
Prehaps its possible to be a part time contributor and send ideas/article drafts etc to editors which could then be expanded upon by editors/authors.
Background, 25 years in the Defense Electronics Industry. Skills H/W, S/W, PC's, Unix etc
email metawraith at ntlworld dot com when it works
Guys.
Thanks for posting your details. Please make sure you have included your e-mail address in this thread if you haven't already.
Then either:
- Send a blank e-mail to ntli-editors-subscribe@nthellworld.co.uk; or
- Go to http://nthellworld.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/ntli-editors_nthellworld.co.uk
This will sign you up onto our mailing list.
PS. Who is Daniel Board, he's sat in the queue but ain't going nowhere at the moment cos he ain't posted in this thread. Please post so we know who you are :)

Yes, I would like to help if at all possible, but I'm not sure if my technical expertise will be up to it. Have worked in the IT industry for a number of years, so if, for example, there is a role for a not too technical person to validate some of the technical articles that would be me.
Again, I would prefer if someone could PM to me - I do not want to leave an email address here.
Thanks, J

Regardless of whether you are, I suggest you think about the possibility that more than one person has the same knowledge.

Cc: Blank
Subject: Re: How can I test the speed of my cable modem? (This was taken from ntli.info)
This would be the message body
