Likewise, it would be a shame for the LUG to fold, and that seems to be the
best way of keeping the list in tact. Having been here through thick and thin
since sometime in the late '90s I'd be sad to see the list go the way of others
I've been on like the LBC (Linux Buyers Consortium if anyone remembers that
one!).

I'm happy to back up Andy to spread the load on managing the list / website
(simplified as per the PLUG one I should think) and to do as we do at PLUG and
ensure multiple lugmasters.

This would be the preferred option as it has the potential of having meetings
if there is someone out there with the time and inclination to organise them.
Anyone is welcome to attend our PLUG meetings though :)
