IMHO, overlap of groups/territory is a Very Good Thing. For example, even
though NELUG officially includes NT state, it's really mostly today a Greater
Boston Area group, for most practical purposes. (Might change in the future,
who knows, but most of the NELUG get-togethers that I'm aware of have taken
place in the Boston area.)
If I lived in, say, Manhattan and I knew there were lots of other NYC LEGO
folks around, I sure would *not* want to *have* to join a neighboring group
that I could attend only once in a long while. I would much rather join a
smaller, more localized group and have weekly or biweekly get-togethers.
Sid, my advice to you is to join GardenSLUG and NELUG but *also* to get
together with other NYC folks and start a NYCLUG. I know of fifty AFOL's in
NY state, about 15 of which live in the various boroughs of NYC. So there
are plenty of people -- you just have to find them.

p.s. This is a great example of a thread that doesn't belong in .general --
OK for a first post, but the discussion is really most appropriate in .org.us
or .loc.us.ny.ny (which I'm setting the followups to on my post). :-)

| (...) Such a group already exists and it's called GardenSLUG, covering NJ, NY, and PA. Another group, NELUG, has Boston covered and another, WAMALUG takes care of Baltimore. See (URL) for more about these groups. GardenSLUG got started back in July. (...)
