Fine. Then you set up a meeting the way you'd like to see it done
and direct it. There's nothing stopping you from doing that and you
SHOULD. NOLUG needs less banter on the list about what needs to
be done and more people to just do it. Run a meeting.
set up a demo. DO something.

We don't have the active group we started with 3 years ago. We need
people to take the mantle. I, frankly, cannot do it. I just
don't have the kind of time that I did then. That's one of the
reasons why I gave up managing the mailing list.

This is a bad idea. I've checked them out. There wouldn't be any
synergy there. We talked about this actually when we set up NOLUG.
It didn't prove to be fruitful. I strongly encourage us to stay
on our own.

Those are good points. YOu can lead in that direction by leading a meeting.
