I wondered how long it'd be before someone mentioned something :-)

Probable that we actually need to get -announce's purpose documented and 
stuff such that it can be used and abused more easily by members, and then 
NZLUG's noise could drop.

For monthly stuff I dont see the problem, however with three meetings a 
month WellyLUG would add what some others may see as additional noise. I 
dunno..

I'm a tad busy (Baby arrived yesterday) but time permitting i'll ponder 
this during the week. I'm off work for at least a couple of days helping 
take care of bubs and mum too.

Mark.
