I'm sorry you feel this way, Del. I wasn't defending the comments (yes, it
was a rather pointless exchange), I was more interested in replying to Ken's
views, and putting things into perspective. That said, I think it was just a
matter of hotheadedness and unhelpfulness than "mine is better than yours"
distribution crap.
SLUG is still a wonderful group, though I do agree that some participants on
the lists are less interested in helping out, and show more disrespect than
others. If you're displeased with someone's behaviour on the list - email
them privately, and if they continue, email publically.
SLUG is everyone's club to make something out of - and the only way to do
that is to participate. SLUG definitely needs more people pulling their
fingers out and contributing - like Craige with the DebSIGs, Terry Collins
with MacLUG, etc.
