Re: 1st CLUG AGM

[Rik Tindall]

All outstanding replies on this thread have been directed off this "CLUG 
Technical" list, to the CLUG committee list, except this one.

Might I say that Matthew's irony always provides a thought-provoking 
read, alongside insightful answers.

Suggesting that all of the members of this list are tied up within
themselves, myopic, and one-eyed is ridiculous and insulting.
True. An organisation is more than the sum of its parts. My comments 
were clearly directed at the work of the sum, and not that of the parts 
(ourselves).

Aside from that, I'm sure that there's nothing a newcomer to Linux wants
to find more than a local Linux-related mailing list that has been all
but overrun with post after post about internal politics.
Which is why it is most constructive to propose "That a CLUG Social list 
operate as the home of everything Off-Topic on CLUG Technical."
