[Nottingham] Geographical independence of electronic commuincation

[Duncan John Fyfe]

Simple question really,
Of the list members who have no interest in the geographically based LUG activities
why do you feel Nottingham LUG is/was/could be a better place to hang out and talk Linux than 
one (or all) of the many news groups (uk.comp.os.linux, comp.os.*, etc) or any other LUG for that matter ?

Have fun,
Duncan
