Greetings,

We would like to mention that a

is in place.
This
forum allows for the exchange of ideas and information among
LAPS users and developers about all aspects of LAPS. 
This forum can be read and posted to with the
<strong><A HREF="http://laps.noaa.gov/laps-users">LAPS Users Discussion Forum</A></strong> web page.

<p>
When contacting the LAPS community, please note these two related methods,
