Andy,
I believe that Karl Buckland was referring to the whole situation
being ridiculous and not the free service lug.org.uk has been
providing.  We all know it is provided for free to us via support from
companies and a few individuals.  We also all know people have their
own day jobs and administrator lug.org.uk in their spare time.
I believe we as a group have been very patient while a solution to the
lug.org.uk hacking is put it place.  We are of course free to openly
discuss other options for our website.

Also I question why you feel the need to post argumentative comments
on our mailing list.  You are an irregular poster and you have posted
comments to stir us up in the past.  Our list operates very nicely, we
have a very active IRC, friendly meetings and a great social network
around KLUG and your appearance always seems to upset that balance.

I can only assume you are having a bad Friday.

This is WAY out of line!  And really annoys me. This again points to
your previous comments in emails to stir up this list. I hope you
email Karl Buckland off list and apologize.

We are grateful for all the work the volunteers have done.  Sorry if
it does not show.

This is something we may discuss at our next meeting.

Pleased to hear it.  If we hear from you again, please make it a
constructive and supportive comment.
