        I think you may be misunderstanding or misinterpreting my point I
was stating that in order to help ourselves and the potentially growing
Linux community. I was stating from my viewpoint that I see a need to look
at what we are providing and as to how we are providing it. It seams that
every time something like my suggestion (s) are voiced by myself or others
the knee jerk reaction always sounds something like this statement.
"military/executive hierarchical structure" I surely did not mention
anything of the kind at all.

        In order for a group ie: NFLUG to enhance the experience the of
edification shouldn't we see if we need to seek input from within? I don't
see how the statement "military/executive hierarchical structure" fits into
the the topic. We currently have a presses on the web through a web site and
we state that we advocate Linux. Ah...to me that sounds more like a
organization then a group of old buddies playing computer games and chewing
the fat. Not to kock gaming, but come on now.

        If a sig (special interest group) is the answer (and maybe its not,
but then at least a offer was made) then how could that be interpreted as a
power war or steping on toes? I think we need to not see advancement as bad.
As stated.."Technophiles, as a rule, tend to be free thinkers" Nuff said!



So that my two red cents worth.
