[Lancaster] Radical Suggestion

[Taylor Nuttall]

Fine by me.

Happy to see some activity too.

Ken Hough expressed interest in the group - do not know if he is on the list
/ lists or not? kenhough@compuserve.com

If you are not aware of activities at Folly happening at the moment we are
running workshops some of which are relevant to Linux, presentations daytime
and evening. See www.folly.co.uk for details.

Seems perfectly sensible to me. No objections. The only reason I can see for
the message board is if there were so many of us that the mailing list was
flooding people's inboxes (hardly the case...). If things get a bit
livelier,
it might be good to have two lists, one for discussion and one just for
announcements, but I don't even see the need for this at the moment.
