Sorry, This is purly hypothetical at the moment. It's not something I feel is
likely to happen but its just something that during the coarse of conversation
we thought we ought to protect ourselves a little. We were the first to
register "NELUG" and after a little checking... yup nelug.com and nelug.net
are both still available. So I don't think we have anything to worry about.
I think I had mentioned to Dave Eaton that I had considered registering them
too but thought that the added expense really wasn't warrented. Interestingly
though Todd owns lugnet.com and lugnet.org but not lugnet.net .
I think the one situation we thought of was if the North East Linux Users Group
wanted to make a stink at some point in the future.

I think thats highly unlikely and we have a strong case anyway.
So I wouldn't worry to much about it. Just us miserable New Englanders always
thinking the worst.

Again I don't think we have to worry but it still might be a good topic for
discussion.
