Well I don't know about the other "True" LUGs but I don't think being a LUG as
opposed to an LTC had anything to do with it. I think it mostly came down to
the demographics of our group at the begining. Like Todd pointed out I think
that most of our meetings have been attened by people in their Mid Twentys to
Early Thirtys. Most of those members have been Male with a few exceptions
(Suzanne Rich and Karen Miller jump to mind).
So no I don't think that being a LUG over an LTC had anything to do with it.
If the same people came together to start an LTC I think we would have had the
same result.
Like I have said before there are issues in this decission that have not been
shared yet because personally I think they might not be appropriate for a
public forum where young kids might be reading. If we decide as a group at our
next meeting to share those reasons publically then we will otherwise I think
most of you are bright enough to figure out what they might be. Rest assured
they involve liability but its not a broken leg we are talking about.
