On the Net Instructions question. If a net is a training or practice net then longer instructions are fine, but these should be abbreviated for operational nets. We are always getting new participants and I feel that explanations help new users feel more comfortable participating.
I do periodically check into some additional nets other than those I checkmarked, but not frequently enough to call it “regularly”.
I’ve been out of town for the holidays so my net participation “in the last two weeks” is atypical.
