Whoops. Just read Dustins posts. Sorry yall. I personally dont think that this group would be fun without the flame wars.

I havent been a member that long (couple years maybe?) but I think the flamewars dominate the group, so it might be more appropriate to start a BRLUG-tech than anything else =)
