Ah. You *do* mean MelbaLUG. This seems to be a Nashua-area concern, not
a state-wide one.

CentraLUG and SLUG are still quite active - and operate independent of
GNHLUG. In fact, it appears CentraLUG is growing (each meeting seems to
get bigger)! I haven't heard from MonadLUG for a while. (I think their
meeting place got yanked.) And it appears that NNHLUG and Keene have
"fallen off the map".

RSVPs would make sense for quarterlies or long-distance/big-name
speakers. I don't think it would be good for the monthlies. They need to
be more consistent.

I agree with you - my intent was to comfort people who are afraid GNHLUG
will dissolve. But not provide enough comfort that they can just forget
about it.

But, since you meant the Nashua area MelbaLUG, I must withdraw my
"offer" - Nashua is just too far for me to focus on consistently.

Shouldn't this level of discussion go on on the -org list?
