This isn't exactly in the spirit of the LUG.

I may be misguided, but I thought the whole point of this Linux User
Group was to help ALL people who contributed. I have noted that Ken
Hough is a very active member of this list and his wishes should be
given more consideration and NOT shouted down.

There is seems to be an agenda behind your posts, which I am yet to
understand. I am not really interested in that, more that people who
are keen on Linux are encouraged in their enthusiasm and given a forum
to ask for help and develop their skills.

This group should not just cater for elitist skill sets, it should
cater for all skill levels and encourage people to use Linux
regardless of their experience.

DT environments should be discussed within the group, as should the
use of polymorphic inheritance in classes within the Linux kernel.
