I'm here, and listening, too.  When I have something useful to contribute, 
I'll speak up.  Like Ben, I tend to be more active on the lists associated 
with the projects on which I work -- mainly groff, and occasionally MinGW (so 
MS-Windows is *almost* bearable ;-) ).

Well, I haven't noticed any around Grimsby recently :-)

Seriously though, this is supposed to be the *Lincolnshire* LUG.  Boston is 
way at the south of the (rather large) county, so a long way to travel, for 
members living on the northern fringes.  IMO, a more central location, say 
Lincoln, would be a fairer choice of meeting venue for the wider membership.

Cheers,
Keith.
