At first: Dale, Iwas a little opposed to a separate mailing list.  But, 
the more I thought about it the more I think it is definitely necessary.

The current case ACLUG is an exception becuase all members needed to 
know that the ACLUG was in some danger of shutting down.

But, I truely believe we will iron things out and keep the ACLUG even if 
it means we have to have a meeting every week for the next month or two 
to get things back on track.

Now, to get back to the separate mailing list.  I think we need a 
separate local mailing list that discusses local events, meetings, 
topics, ACLUG business, etc.  Basically, everything that pertains to the 
ACLUG locally.  And of course, anything the local committee see fit can 
be added to the website or main discussion list.  Such as, topics 
discussed at the meetings, committee business, ACLUG functions, etc. 
 Furthermore, the requirements to being a local member will be ironed 
out over the next few meetings.

My point is that there seemed be people confused about what is going on 
locally and are afraid it will affect their membership to their 
currently subscribed list.

After all, if someone is subscribed to this list and lives in Florida 
they probably don't want to hear about our local internal problems 
within the ACLUG.

We shouldn't confuse the normal and maybe global discussion list with 
our local issues.

By the way, were you working on the website this evening?  I wasn't able 
to access it.

I assume you will fill us in on what you John discussed about the 
website....At the meeting on Monday.
