Are we gonna change the name, too? Sydney Open Source And Linux Users
Group? SOSALUG?

I don't see why we should change what works? The statement made about a
request for AIX could have something do with {gasp} the fact that there
aren't many AIX users on the list? Because there are more specific AIX
lists around, maybe?

Sometimes it's tough getting an answer to a question that's specifically
aimed at Linux issues, let alone with adding Open Source stuff to the mix.
And people complain about the signal/noise ration now.

Suit yourselves. My contribution these days is negligable anyway, owing to
lack of time. I don't believe the focus of the group should change.
