Fair enough. But lists aren't terribly useful unless the lint is sorted out. Certainly, I understand the limits of *donated* time and effort. However, that Essex group site appears to not have been touched in just shy of 10 YEARS. <http://web.archive.org/web/19970412210704/http://www.epos.demon.co.uk/> Methinks "continually" might be a bit of an exaggeration. :) That said, I've looked over each LUG on this list, and all of them that I could understand appear to have something interesting to offer. (Except, for now, http://www.linuxbh.org/ which appears to be over their bandwidth cap) > Anyhow, care to FedEx me a few kilohours' spare time to personally assess > the world's LUGs' Internet presences -- or, better, volunteer to do that > job yourself? > > No?

I don't feel that going in search of a few more LUG's is a productive use of my (or your) time. Rest assured, I contribute to this great bazaar myself, with donations, with time and with many dozens of messages dropped in thanks. I greatly appreciate the efforts of people such as yourself whose contributions are far greater. -troy _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
