The Well is organized into special interest areas called conferences, such as Books, Classical Music, News, and Current Events. Each conference contains many topics, with titles like "Opera: It's Not Just For Breakfast Any More," or "Sopranos," or "Those Bohemian Composers!" The Well's users add their own comments, called postings or responses, to topics that interest them. A typical posting looks like this:
Topic 26 [classical]: Opera: It's not just for
breakfast anymore.
