Subject: Re: UCubed & OK Computer
Hi, I am sorry to say that I really don't like this idea so far. Not
necessarily in general (though a little) but specifically for okay 2... We
are already merged with the girl geek build your own PC day, and frankly, I
am finding it kinda tough dealing with BLug and MFS at the same time
already, and thats just co-helping, not actually merged. Already, we have
lost MFS team from this email.... and without them there would never have
been a OK1...its all getting to smell like politics to me, or maybe I have
just been around you techniques for too long and have gotten paranoid! I
found u cubed really great fun and think its totally fab, but it really is a
whole other kettle of fish. I am very happy for, like last time, there to be
a clear and structured presence from any/all groups, and those who help the
most get an obvious mention (like MFS and girl geek did last time)... we can
even have name badges pinpointing to which groups we belong... thats all
fine. But as far as the actual dates, name and structure, and happenings of
the day, I feel that we are both big enough to just stand alone, as friends
and fellows.... particularly as we already are set to have two days of stuff
already. I just cant see how ucubed could fit around that, other than being
a great help with a big mention, as MFS and MGG were last time, and BLug are
set to be this time (I think you were last time but wasn't so savvy on who
was helping or not!)

I am not sure I expressed myself well. just faild my driving test. 10% poor
judgment and nerves, 90% some wanker in a jag. a pale blue Jag... if you see
him... make sure he knows I am PISSED!
