The problem with that method is that would be a big job for someone in
the event of a serious enquiry, and we're not a co-ordinated mass,
we're simply individuals and the enquirer would know that. I don't
think, either, any enquirer would get lots of responses, and if they
were different, that's how they would make a decision between them.

I still prefer a rule that says "communicate it to the group and let
individuals respond one-to-one", it keeps things very simple from
SLUGs perspective.

I guess it's all moot until we get an enquiry, and I've not heard of
one in almost two years :-)
