Folks, I know there has been quite a bit of discussion lately about user groups, policies, membership, etc., but (and not to stir the kettle!!) I was wondering if there is an active LUG in the twin cities that is accepting new members. I know I (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp)

Just curious of a couple things. First off, how many local MSP Lugneeers(??) do we have reading this? Always kind of wondered. I've been readin' Lugnet since my return from the Dark Age a couple years ago(late '98). Secondly, what stores to people (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jan-01, to lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp)
