Yes Kyle, Like id mentioned earlier, the guys on the group know about this and that i can vouch for. But reasons why they dont want to join it i dont know , For example Someone told me that, they simply dint want their Mailbox to be filled with groups mail, which to me was like that should be a problem but hey, thats what the person told me and thats them and who knows what the others reasons are. Simon your right about the fact that Linux is about openness and choice...so LUG mak chapter alone, linux.or.ug mailing list alone or both like me...should be a personal descision. And besides, i heard a saying somewhere "Build castles with the bricks life throws at you" literally translated in my words "Facebook is not open: thts fine, but that doesnt mean we use it to promote Linux".
