[TriLUG] Silly file format conversion

[Chris Knowles]

Thanks...

Didn't think to have it be *.csv

Unfortunately, some of the people this is being sent to get all wonky
when they get hit by that import screen, so nicest would be a way to
scriptably create an Excel spreadsheet, but at least this is a step.

Thanks again, as usual Jon.
