Pretty dang cool!!!
Plus they have links to quite a few LUG's (but no LTC's?).

Hmm, that is odd. It looks like the list came from the dates page listing[1],
which lists train clubs as well as general local user groups. Well, on that
page I just added a graphic and a link to the world LUG Map, which includes
the new changes Eric Kingsley made last week for MichLUG and MonLUG. The
LEGO page gives the URL of the org dates page[1] so hopefully visitors will
find their way to the graphical map from there.

May I suggest: Be more specific in your statement!
Something like "if you wandered in here from the pressrelease <backlink>,
that list is incomplete and may be out of date, click on the globe for a
complete list"
Journalists aren't always the greatest at connecting dots and drawing
inferences, especially if they are rushed. Do their homework for them (this
is a special case of "don't do people's homework for them" :-) ) as if you
don't, you get burned. That's been my experience.

Good idea!

That list (and the rest of the newsletter/information) is somewhat
US-centric (and LUGNET-centric). The only international mention (other
than TLC employees) is of ITLUG, UKLUG, and VLC. A couple of glaring
omissions are De Bouwsteen and the German community at
<http://www.1000steine.de/> (specifically,
<http://www.1000steine.de/forum/>).
