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.
There is likely a large number of Members who would share your opinion and be
in a similar position as you regarding attendance at Meetings and interaction
with the list. The survey of LUV Members a few years ago, clearly indicated
that the LUV mailing list is by far the best and most appreciated asset of the
organisation from Members perspective.
Whether a dis-incorporatoin of LUV will affect the viability of the list in the future is an
unresolved question at the moment. The discussion is about "dis-incorporation" at the
moment, not a merger. I think there would be distinctions to be made between the two. A merger
would probably imply that there was some "formal" and considered discussions between the
parties involved. But that has not taken place.
Cheers
Daniel.
