I am not an official-type person of GMLUG but I seem to recall some
discussion (or maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part) that saw GMLUG
as a blanket virtual organization... places with high concentrations of fans
have their own orgs. That does NOT mean they are "subsidiaries" of GMLUG,
unless they wanted to be (leveraging the website, etc...). Hence, the
territory of GMLUG continues to cover Michigan even though MichLUG exists,
is active, and is not really a sub of GMLUG. (no one in MichLUG that I know
of has ever said we are, I don't think, and that's about as organised as we
ever get...)
If you agree with that stance you don't need to think about what GMLUG
"territory" is at all, just do your own thing, don't worry, and be happy.
I'd sort of not like to get into the whole "whose territory is it anyway"
discussion if we can avoid it, IMHO.
PS I am really kicking myself because I was *in* Indianapolis for part of
last week and the week before...

| Larry, (...) Well, I don't you could have done much, since it just started getting discussed this week. Scott S. P.S. I forwarded it to loc.in I don't think this needs to be in MichLUG forum anymore, even if I might be part of both groups. -- (23 years ago, 28-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
