........ I sometimes wonder how many of these mail boxes are going to /dev/null and why we see many people join the list but never post? are they there? do they really exist?

I'm here! The list is probably in reality only half the size as most people register both from work and at home..I do anyway.

I don't mind if there are talks or not at meetings. But I work full time and have two young children, and weekends are usually quite precious, that's why I don't show up, rather than lack of enthusiasm or preference for a particular style of meeting.

As for the name ... I vote for leaving it as Anglian Linux Users group, for the reasons stated by John about 3,657 mails ago on this subject and Kirsten only 65 ago ;-)
