Sarcasm not necessary.
NZLUG is already more than this if you take its mailing list alone into
account.

Remember we're taking small steps. Interlinking LUGs and resources is just a
start.
However I'm not making judgement calls as to where NZLUG will be in the
future _yet_ - as it is more than just me.

So we welcome your input. However my initial purpose in engaging WellyLug
was to gain your support for a few entry-level concepts, and get your
contributions into the very NZLUG developments we've been arguing all this
time.

Small steps.

Mark.
