I don't think the issue has ever really been raised.  Personally, I don't
have the time to, and the hostility I've received from this group in the
past isn't exactly motivating.  That does not, however, invalidate my
point.  Look at the reality of the situation.  PLUG needs a larger space,
preferably with some technological amenities in Center City, and we're
finding that these spaces cost money.  No one seems to have the means to
make any of these freely available (we go through this every time).  This
means that either PLUG has to grow up as an organization and structure
itself and start handling money, or it has to move, or it has to stay how
it is and suffocate.

No, I don't hear voices in my head;
I'm the one that tells the voices in your head what to say.
