We may end up with similar troubles if our survey reveals any significant differences between the regions. But I think the advocacy is best handled locally where LUG can build lasting relationships. I don't think CLUE wants to be in a position of hand holding every VP who is thinking about sticking his neck out. We should also read or reread the essay by Todd Burgess http://eddie.cis.uoguelph.ca/~tburgess/local/linux.html Hightly OT I think the BNA act should have been repealed when we brought home the constitution. Harris was right when he decided to merge all the smaller cities into mega cities but he should have thought bigger and merged the provinces into a country and left the cities alone. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
