Every time you characterize the problem as "two LUGS in the same
town", you misrepresent the issue. The issue has never been anything
*but* the words "Portland Linux User Group" and the confusion that
PDXLUG's use of them spawns.
Robby's insertion of the indefinite article "a" marginally helped, but as
we've seen it doesn't totally cure the problem.
We don't have a problem. People complaining have the problem. Go
away. Be healed.
