IMHO, A user group is *supposed* to be a bunch of people who get together periodically to discuss something of interest to them. In every user group that I have belonged to (an Atari group, the Amiga Developer's Forum, a model rocketry club, ...) the group tried hard to keep things as informal as possible. Politics were specifically disallowed, with a couple of minor exceptions (*somebody* has to organize the thing!) I have never been to a UU meeting, or a /usr/group/cdn meeting. But from the looks of things in this newsgroup/maillist lately, I don't want to either. There seems to be nothing but political maneuverings going on. I would love to hear that I am wrong. In the mean time, if you guys are going to keep "bickering" (friendly or otherwise), can you keep it down to a dull roar? (Perhaps email would be more appropriate?) -- Grandpa Charnock's Law: | C.
