David, what you left out is the PLUG has 3 distinct groups that meet on different nights on the West side, East side and central areas.  They seem to work together well the most part.

\_ SMTP quoth Bill Nash on 11/10/2003 09:52 as having spake thusly:
\_ forming a second local PM group is a division of resources that
\_ will simply fracture the local community and spread resources even
\_ thinner, 

OTOH, if there are a lot of lurkers, having something not in phx
proper may actually make "the locals" grow since my motivation for
driving into downtown during/after rush hour is ... really low.  Then
again, I've been more active on PLUG and have made maybe three of
their meetings in ... 5+ years.  :-)

The danger of the conversation I've been seeing is that some may
decide that some people(s) are whack jobs and this just isn't a
friendly venue.  Like efnet #perl :-) Granted opn #perl has teeth from
time to time, but I've seen a lot less militicism on opn and we don't
usually beat offenders until the second offense.  :-)

My $0.02.  I'll ride through this, but I'd just as soon it went back
to friendly-local-pm.

David
