Uh... yeah....  It did take up 99% of this list for about 2 weeks.
it would have been hard to miss it.   I did not know what the out 
come of the vote was.  I, once again, got home late and missed the
meeting and was not aware of the outcome.

Oh, yeah.  If you look through the archives you will see that the
19th and Pine was brought up about two weeks ago.  I was well aware
of it as well as an offer to use space at the Free Library. I don't 
think you wanted to hear about anything other than netaxs.  Not
that that is bad... I'm sure you have your reasons... and I don't
doubt there are some very compelling reasons that netaxs would make
a great spot.

Yeah... that IS an improvement over the Cyber Loft in terms of
seating... though it may be less total sq. footage.  I don't know.
I'll have to see it myself.  If it's the one I'm thinking of and the 
meeting is held downstairs, it's rather small, indeed.  :-(

That's very touching ;-)  ...but it screws too many people out of a 
reasonable commute.    For that reason I think it is a poor option
that should only be considered for temporary use if need be.

FWIW - I admit that my motivations are selfish... I do not attend 
meetings on a regular basis.  Regardless of that it was very clear 
that at least half of the list contributors were not able or willing
to go any deeper into PA than center city.
