I wanted a LOT of things ;) But then I am a demanding chap, aren't I?? No, but seriously, Nick, your (as I saw it), ahem, sometimes abrasive and forthright nature frankly annoyed me. I have since gotten to know you better and though you still sometimes annoy me (as I surely do you), I have also come to respect and value your opinions, if not approach. I think you have a lot of knowlege and ability that many (myself included) on this list have benefited from. I got the impression that the bulk of people in the CLUG (based on discussion at the meetings) were quite happy with the way CLUG was being run and the topics being discussed. I was not. To recap my feelings and what I thought the CLUG should include more of, see the archives here:
http://lists.ethernal.org/cantlug-0208/msg00575.html

As such, it seemed CLUG in general was meeting most everyone's needs but mine. Therefore, rather than try to encourage the inclusion of things few saw as important other than me, I chose to step back and allow those who enjoyed it as is, continue to enjoy it as is. If this has changed in recent times (meaning since I stopped attending meetings etc.), please let me know and I will reconsider my involvement.

Regards,

Jason Greenwood

Not wanting to go over old ground here Jason, but IIRC you wanted more
talks on gui type software, which quickly degenerated  into a CLI/GUI
flamewar oops I mean discussion.

I think someone may have suggested that you organise or conduct talks on
the areas that interested you, if that has resulted in you "voting with
your feet" then i think thats a shame. Maybe I have it wrong and there
were some other issues i wasn't aware of.

I hope you'll take part some more Jason, particularly as there is
another installfest coming up. You have made a good contribution to the
"group" and I hope it can continue.

I will not bore the list as I am reasonably sure I have made it quite 
clear what I would like the CLUG to do differently. IMHO, these concerns 
have fallen on more than deaf ears, they have fallen on vehemently 
contrary ears. That is totally fine, I guess I was outnumbered. As I 
said, I am not trying to change the CLUG anymore, I chose to vote with 
my feet instead. I still wish the CLUG the very best but it doesn't meet 
my needs. I have therefore limited my involvement to the occasional 
participation on list.

If you were the committee of one, what would you change?

One problem with your little hypothesis/statement. It leaves no room for 
change/progression/evolution. All things change in time, that is the way 
of life.
