I am a member of both PLUG and PDXLUG and I have NO PROBLEM differentiating
between the two groups. I also resent the generalized insults that PLUGgers
have been posting based upon their LIMITED perspective and PERSONAL
opinions. Based upon the responses from PDXLUG, I don't think that a
name-change will fly. However, it may be possible for us,(PDXLUG), to better
differentiate between our groups which I will suggest to PDXLUG. In the
meantime, I think it would be a better use of everyone's time to stick to
facts and refrain from the name-calling and over-generalizations that make
it more difficult to make any positive changes.
