Cool, but: #1, our list is moderated #2, we have a searchable archive #3, What?? If you're claiming to be a "clearinghouse" for job listings in Willamette Valley, or even just in Corvallis, I think you have some *serious* competition. And although personal networking is crucial to us all, it seems like you're actively advertising, I'd almost say, "selling" yourself here and it does seem (to me) like you're attempting to further fragment the community.
I'm curious, D., what is the mission statement of the MWV LUG, and is anyone else actively participating or is this primarily your own venture? Who else is involved? Is MWVLUG incorporated or registered as a nonprofit? What is the relationship between gencom.us and mwvlug? I can prolly find some answers to these questions on your site(s), sorry, but just about every announcement you've made reads TO ME as an advert. It'd be a nice plan, if that's what it is, but I think it is not the spirit of any LUG, even very very professional ones. It's a User Group, d'oh. Don't get me wrong, I think what you're doing is cool, but please don't plan to fragment our efforts! I'd really like to see more collaboration, even if this message does not parse as such = ) Thanks and be well, B. On 12 Feb 2004 09:09:56 -0800 "D.
