Edward, 

I'm afraid you've taken my words out of context.  Frank had asked if
he could use the SUG name, logo, or letterhead to solicit for
donations from vendors.  The answer is, of course, 'no'.  The Sun User
Group is a not-for-profit corporation, it would jeopardize our legal
standing if we permitted the local user groups to use our name, not to
mention irritate all the vendors who thought they were donating to us,
and therefore getting a tax write-off.

Sorry for the confusion,

Alex Newman
Sun User Group
