'sigh' There's a reason the private addresses of the senders are still displayed on lists like these.
I'd be just as happy if this meeting was open to the general public, let alone the Clickers. I think that would actually be a good thing, even if we let BRLUG people moderate this as some sort of round-table discussion in front of whoever wants to attend. I think unrestricted public Q&A could be a debacle we're not ready to deal with, but I think public attendance would be good. "The Clickers" may or may not even be relevant in that situation, but it would at least be good to have them. -- -j On 11 Oct 2001, Dustin Puryear wrote: > Date: 11 Oct 2001 10:06:25 -0500 > From: Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: BRLUGLIST <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: RE: [brluglist] possible topic for November meeting: SSSCA? > > On Wed, 2001-10-10 at 22:44, John Hebert wrote: > > And my reply was to Jerald.
