(just so we all know, i have changed my name and address, but i am still EN 
Baker... dont wanna cause confusion)

I have to say, i like your ideas... the IRC idea is fantastic, and will 
certainly help build on the comunity aspect, certainly gets my vote! after 
all, the way i see it (and it is only my humble oppinion) but in order to 
progress with the website, and the LUG as a whole there needs to be more of a 
community feeling, as up untill recently this list has only really been used 
forpleas for help, and not discussions (such as this) about the way forward!
