It all started with Robert Thomas (I'm reasonably sure that's his name) at
Sequent starting up an Australian Linux mailing list.  The newsgroup came
later.

Still, without the newsgroup, we may not have had as many of the user groups
starting up when they did - LUV started as a response to all the people
asking, on this very group, "is there a linux users group in melbourne ?" -
had we not had this group, such questions would have been lost in the noise of
comp.os.linux (and later, comp.os.linux.misc) - I certainly don't read any of
comp.os.linux.* except for announce and answers - I've got a day job to keep
up with (which involves keeping up with comp.unix.solaris et al. instead :)

Enjoy,
 Andrew.
