Yes our lug lacks <BR>in a few areas but you will find many extremely knowledgeable people on <BR>this list who will be more than happy to help you no matter what level <BR>of Linux or computing help you need. And if I may speak for the group, <BR>we are more than happy to hear ideas on better meeting places, forums, <BR>whatever. However, we need to have more than just talk. Ron's "wait and <BR>see" policy is his usual stance and as typical with that attitude, he <BR>has contributed as much. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><----------------------------------snip-------------------------->\</DIV> <DIV>Hello all.</DIV> <DIV>Hi Peter, For your and others information, I took part from the vary beginning when this group first started. So you have the opinion that I have a "typical attitude" You and others that became members latter on do not know the whole picture, so please don't exclude me cause you have a different idea in your mind about the LUG. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>At an average meeting early in the LUG history, we had 30 to 40 or more show up not bad for a somewhat dead city. You can say all the comments you wish, but the facts show that the current membership have not done any better. I am more then willing to participate to help out in whatever way I can, but more importantly be there to learn Linux. Till the group evolves into something better then what it is, my typical attitude is a valid opinoin. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV
>Thank
you, Ron Maggio</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Everyone talks about coming to the meetings and <BR>few show, it can be disappointing to those that have arranged it. Frank <BR>and myself have opened our homes to the meetings in an effort to keep <BR>the meetings going when our usual meeting place(s) were being moved <BR>around, etc.. I have seen Bob repeatedly ask the group, who plans on <BR>coming and what topics are of interest, only to see Josh and maybe 1 <BR>other respond. So, my point is this... From a new persons view, I can <BR>completely understand your questions and I too would love to see a more <BR>structured LUG with regular meetings after all, we all LOVE Linux right! <BR>However, for things to change, we really need someone with the time and <BR>ambition to spearhead things and get things going properly. If we all <BR>take the "wait and see" approach, things will never change. I am also
<BR>not
trying to usurp Bob but he keeps asking for help, so those that can, <BR>should.<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>nflug mailing list<BR>nflug@nflug.org<BR>http://www.nflug.org/mailman/listinfo/nflug<BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV><p>
