I'm pretty sure the members of the BMW club are all multimillionaires. I'm not sure about PLUG. Also the BMW club isn't an advocacy group. The target of the BMW club is limited to the members. This differs from PLUG whose goal if I'm not mistaken is to spread knowledge or advocate Linux and other free and open source software to other people. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
