Well Peter, I think your way out of line this time. Whats your problem?

You see people we can't have our meetings if it means that we have to put up
with this behavior. It seems that Peter thinks since he's offering this
space for the meeting he can abuse this position.

At first this organization seemed like a good group to learn linux from, but
with the personalities that think only Sys Admin's so on and so forth count.
Plus the added factor that the groups direction has been for the most part
leading in that direction. This means that something is really wrong!

The general computing public is not included in this group. When this group
first started the intent was to advocate linux to the computing public not
to have a group of Sys Admin's and such calling the shots or (local business
owners).

As far as Peter's conduct with this group it makes one wonder about you as
well dude. It seems that you only know how to shoot off your mouth. You
don't factor in that my post was suggesting ideas not telling the group what
to do!

If you had really read what I was saying and offering to the group. You
would have noticed the intent, and made a nice comment about it. (A post I
made pointed out your behavior to the post that started all of this. But
alas once again your behavior makes one wonder?)

It seems that this group is no longer able to meet the needs of myself and
others. The main reason for this group was to advocate linux to the general
computing public.

The interest of its ongoing membership are mainly the interests of high end
tech's and local business owners that both find it a media from which to
advance themselves and nothing more. (with maybe some information between
themselves to make it look ok)

I think its time to either learn on my own, find infromation on the usenet,
web sites, and from other lugs. This group is not the only means of
information around. Further more, There is lugor, nflug is not the only show
in town. There is so much out there on the internet that nflug is really not
needed.

So take care have a good life, I'm gone. Let me know how to unlist from this
server please, oh and by the way Peter, I know your going to make a comment
about this request, but dude do yourself the favor to not make yourself look
like a bigger jerk keep your rude comments to yourself.
