Just to add confusion...
Given my current commitments (ie. to many) and lack of time I'm
withdrawing myself as a candidate for president.
As some of you know I used to organize most of the talks and a few of
the flame-wars but my involvement has been somewhat from the sidelines
of late - in fact Martin has been doing 99.9% of it (including the
flame-wars ;). Rather than lumber the LUG with a bad start I feel it
would be better to leave the field open for someone else. 

On that basis I second the nomination of Robert Postill for the post of
president (and secretary if I can second him twice). He is a very
talented chap who has shown a lot of commitment and spent no small
amount of time being a dedicate lugnut.

I'm not dropping my LUG involvement and I may well try to take up the
reigns (sic) of power later. I just know I cannot guarantee the
commitment the LUG needs ATM.


Have fun,
Duncan
