I'm starting to be sorry I joined the lists. I hoped to meet other
people who had an interest in Linux, not people who call each other
demons and the like. A former girlfriend used to LOVE Microsoft Bob. It worked for HER. It didn't have to work for ME because I never used it, but I ridiculed her love of it. In the end, more was lost than merely the use of a program that actually WAS productive for one person. Whomever liked the Mac Lisa - hurrah! I used a C=64 until 1988, as it still ran circles around the PC in my opinion. Linux is about CHOICE - so those who CHOOSE to go to PLUG, congrats! Those who CHOOSE to go to PDXLUG, good for you! Those who go to BOTH - you must have the patience of a saint or else don't let the other people know. What in the world is WRONG that you people have to constantly flame each other? Why doesn't ONE group take the higher road and offer to change your name? PLUG.org (as pointed out) belongs to the Provo Linux Users Group. I'm disappointed that I got two responses about interesting projects such as rolling your own (or ANY other interesting project going on), but there are 76 (as of this writing) regarding NAMING (or is that flaming?). I like how Josh is trying to make POSITIVE distinctions. How about changing to Columbia River Linux Users Group, or something that doesn't have a .com/.org attached already? It's almost painless to change the nameservers and domain registration. How about Yet Another Portland Linux Users Group? It stays within geek tolerance levels for most. Members could be Yappies (as it seems that there certainly is a lot of talking). FOR THE MOST PART, I've seen that Linux users like to talk, and generally like each other, and often poke good-natured fun of themselves. I could suggest two dozen names if you don't like any of these. Rus |
