Well, forking is what happens with Free/Open Source software and its
accompanying organizations. What I don't get, though, is why those who are
unhappy would go to this extreme without making any effort to get things
around here changed first.

For example, why not propose a vote on getting the mailing list rules
changed? Or why not simply create a list (rather than a new LUG) that can
feed into the current mailing list for interested parties only? Even though
we have a Benevolent Dictator (who I think is doing an excellent job), it
doesn't mean that things can't change or be changed.

There are ways for all of us to get what we want, if we figure out how to
compromise. We have enough technology and people skilled enough, to create a
solution that can be satisfactory to all...
