Call to order please. aa. We don't speak to new members who are expressing interest in showing up in the way you people are. That is not the CLUG way. We simply ban them from list. bb. Nick, you provided the google reference, however you failed to provide the co-ordinates in plain text. What are people with GIS in their cars meant to do with your url? Also what are people with tramping maps and a campus meant to do? Also please *don't* send attachments to list. cc. Many of you make reference to 'wiki'. We have no idea is this new clown even knows what a 'wiki' is. Please, it's a 'web site'. You should have explained to him to use his faviourate bit of http and navigate to port 80. Did anyone check his headers to identify what platform he was posting from so we could make the best recommendation. dd. Our group is small enough as it is, let's try to remember to always be polite to every good intentioned member as we don't want to loose support for our Linux community just because we can't even give clear direction to a building that is aledged to be in Shirley (personally I haven't been there and signed it). HTH Cheers Don Ps: The spell checker in Thunderbird sux... You want to spell check this and see some of the recommendations. I also tried downloading the right langauage 3 times and it didn't install.
