I think that you're asking a redundant question. Perhaps that is why you 
are receiving 'dead-air' as a response. What does it matter if a group 
was formed last year? Does it affect you? Has it raised your taxes? This 
isn't a debate on whether or not PDXLUG should have evolved from the 
situation that happened over a year ago. I'd like to see more groups 
started as neither our model nor your model is the appropriate model to 
follow for all people. If it were, people would not be banned. People 
would not make public announcements that they are leaving the list. 
Those people need their forum as well.

I also pay taxes to a government that kills civilians, I must be a 
murderer too.
