RE: [Plug] PLUG Meeting Subject-Suggestion!!
|
It appears to me that the subscribed members of this group are as well
qualified as outsiders to clog this mailing with irrelevant discourse (see
below).
PLUG is one of the better known Linux groups in the country. I hear about it
from people on both coasts. At the meetings everyone seems to be excited by
the group's growth. If we are going to embrace this concept, then it would
seem to me that barring outside contact to this group would be
counter-productive.
Hopefully I'll see you all on the 6th.
