We (meaning the collective membership of GNHLUG) have explored ways to make GNHLUG a formal, official, and/or legal entity in the past. Those efforts were more-or-less deliberately abandoned.
My take on it (strictly IMO) was that the effort, overhead, and costs required to make it all happen was considered too high. In business terms, the ROI (Return On Investment) was just not there. GNHLUG members tend to be independent, laid-back, and busy; changing all that was not seen as "worth the trouble". (I suspect some part of the "hacker nature" (as described in The Jargon File) is coming into play here. Hackers seem to dislike formal organizations in real life. But I'm really theorizing here.) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
