I just thought I would chime in here quickly.
I know you noted in your first post that all followups would be to .loc.us.nj
but I would suggest keeping NY and Phi in the list that way you are sure
everyone gets it. I would also suggest adding .org.us to the list so the other
Organizations know that you are trying to form a group.
I am interested for a couple reasons.
1. So that once a name is chosen and things seem to be going well I can add
you to the LUGMAP.
2. Because I am a member of NELUG I think it would be neat if someday a joint
meeting between NELUG and the NY/NJ/Phi LUG took place.
Anyway things seem to be shapeing up well so I will let you go back to your
business now.
