Optional: the address of one’s personal webpage, as well as one’s e-mail address.

To check the number of characters, highlight the note (without addresses) and use the functions “tools” and then “statistics”. Example: this note is composed of 171 characters with spaces.

Members of the SP-Forum Group interested in including any additional information about themselves, notably in order to invite others to take part in some of their activities, may do so by placing a suitable note in the section “More about members of the SP-Forum Group”.
