Sorry you felt you couldn't help ALUG serve Essex better.
I think it was mainly the name that could cause confusion. It it stayed part of ALUG, it would be the Chelmsford branch, which might make some people think that it's more localised than it is.
Why not an Essex branch, like the mid-Suffolk one?
I suspect this has more to do with some people wanting to be called "admin" like in all the worst LUGs, but I hope I'm wrong and wish it the best. The LUGs I've liked best, Peterborough and Anglian, have had "admin" people who spend most of the time trying to avoid the label, but still do the work.
Remember we're here if you need a hand and co-operation is always good.
Thanks (even though I'm not the/an admin). I don't see why members of each LUG couldn't turn up to the other LUG's meetings and be welcomed.
Oh, I agree. I'd take up SoSLUG's invitation if I could find time to travel there and I visit PLUG as often as I can. Cam-LUG have been very hostile to ALUG in the past, though.
Because of the above suspicions, I'd appreciate this staying off-list so I don't start a flamewar. You emailed me off-list first, anyway.
