It did mention the list in the appropriate blurb when I first set up Birmingham.pm, so I can only assume that the blurb has now changed. That's perhaps why there hasn't been many announcements on it in the last year. > Random brainfart: is the diversity of Perl communities a strength or a > weakness?

The fact that the community is so diverse is a strength. Not everyone is interested in user groups, just as not everyone has the time to use IRC. Personally I think the community as a whole benefits from all the avenues of interest, even those forums we come across (provided someone tells them where to go for the real goods of course) for newbies.
