I don't really have an opinion on the proposed merger, but I for one can say that unfortunately I've never been to a LUV meeting, despite being on the list of many years, because I simply can't make Tuesdays (I have a very long standing prior engagement every Tuesday). I guess the fact that I'm no where near the city doesn't help either, but that would be no such an impediment (perhaps not every month though). Having said all of that, I've been following these news lists for many years now (as I said earlier) and would really miss the lively discussions that go on here (even if mostly voyeuristic on my behalf).
I'd be interested to know how many others on these lists are in a similar situation. Peter.
