| What is a moderated, real-time discussion chat room? |
| A moderated discussion is an online GA LA group gathering where members can interact with one
another via the real-time chat feature. The discussion will be led and monitored by a moderator from the LA Intergroup Internet
Committee who is assigned the duty to ensure that discussions remain on topic and non-hostile. Messages of profanity or personal attacks will not be tolerated and are subject to removal from chat. |

| What does Username mean? |
| A Username is a unique ID that identifies who you are on the GALA web site. This Username has to be used with your own personal password to gain proper access online. This Username is also associated with all postings that you have contributed on our site, thus giving you credit for your participation. It also has an added benefit of preventing anonymous users from coming here for disruptive reasons. |
