Thanks to Michael et all for comments on this topic.
I have always heard a lot of good things about this distribution list and
know I know why! :)
I tried to access the home page for FMUG but it seems to be shut down
because it had become a victim of numerous hacker attacks? What is the story
behind this and are there plans to resurface the site?
