[TriLUG] Announcement: New NCSU Linux Users Group Forming

[Ilan Volow]

First of all, I want to say I appreciate the positive responses I've 
received so far about my idea of NOSUL, both on the list and off in 
private e-mails.

Some important issues were brought up by all these different responses 
that, in a day or two, I'll address in one big generalized e-mail that 
deals with those issues. I think that in addition to addressing these 
issues that were brought up, I will also need to explain in the e-mail 
I'm writing the background where I'm coming from, as well as explain 
why many of the things I say and believe and do regarding linux in a 
desktop environment contradict with one another (contradicting to the 
point where it's hard to tell whether I'm promoting linux on the 
desktop or condemning it). I want to be as clear and as honest as 
possible about things, so I don't mislead any one into anything or have 
the things I say and do be  misinterpreted in any way. To do this will 
require I spend more time writing my response than I usually do.

So the answers are: no, I haven't been hit by a bus, and yes, I am 
still following the discussion.

In the next several days I'll be setting up a mailing list, and from 
then on any discussion of NOSUL activities can take place there.
