The positive side of the post which started this whole thread off was 
highlighted very succinctly earlier. WellyLUG is more than a Mailing List 
- its a community.  I for one appreciate the fact that he posted to 
WellyLUG before putting the machines up for grabs elsewhere.

And as i've said already, I don't think that given the low volume of this 
sort of post to date, that its as big a deal as has been made out.

aka 'i'm over it, why isnt everyone else'?

The point of my earlier message was simply that maybe peoples perspectives 
on this need refreshing.

I suppose its one of those 'manure, uphill, rake' situs though.  People 
don't like change.  A shame though given theres an excellent opportunity 
to grow here - and in response to Geraints thought earlier - I don't think 
its ever too late.
