It seems more than somewhat unfair to blame HantsLUG for what you perceive as
my negativity.

Erm... I filled in his survey and answered the questions as accurately and as
helpfully as I could. I protested because Benjie seemed to me to be aiming
at poaching members from another fledgeling group. It has regular meetings
in a private room and is actively seeking permanent premises. The omission
of Reading seems to have been a genuine error, but he still omitted it - to
his advantage.
Any errors I made are mine alone and in no way the fault of HantsLUG.
