I don't think it's a bad idea, IMHO. PLUG-Org mailing list was created to discuss organizational matters/issues and probably solve organizational issues. And with this, I don't think non-members needs to know what is happening with the organization. > Anyway, going back to the original mailing list - I think you should > use it for PLUG members-only as well to encourage those who are using > it to become members.

We are not planning to separate the mailing lists. What we're doing here is to make PLUG an organized and formal organization, not a group of people that just come and go. I should say, most of us, board members and officers are newbies to the PLUG community. We are open for your help, suggestions, guidance, whatever for the benefit of the organization but we need your presence. Thanks.
