Of course I am not from Utah and you can choose your name as you wish but it
would be nice to have some uniformity (Makes us look all the more organized
which can't hurt).

Well, I don't speak for the others, but I'm decidedly anti-uniform.  I'm not
against the idea of calling ourselves a "LUG", but because other groups call
themselves a "LUG" isn't enough justification to call ourselves a "LUG" too.

Well again my 2 cents...

Just to be anti-uniform for anti-uniformity's sake is not allways the way to go
in my opinion.  I am not suggesting some sort of Facist or Socialist standard
that we all must follow and then Salute to the LEGO flag of uniformity.

What I am suggesting is that it may actually help us as a larger LEGO community
in the future.  If for example LEGO notices all of these groups out there that
all have the same interests and ideas they might look and say "Gee look at all
these large groups of AFOL's that are getting together, maybe there is a market
for bulk ordering" etc.

Please remember we all share the same hobby and we are all working in one way
or another to wake up TLG to a market that it has yet to acknowledge.  I am
also in no way saying that you should be a "LUG" I am just suggesting that a
little uniformity is not a bad thing.

Just a little constructive criticism.
