[TriLUG] Why don't people come to TriLUG meetings? (was Re:Trilug Kode of Kondukt)

[Matt Pusateri]

My only concern is fragmenting content.  I'd be up for trilug-chat if it 
was for non-technical discussions, like INW.  and trilug@ was for 
technical discussions.  Somehow I think people will still post to 
trilug@ content that belongs in trilug-chat.  But if we can get the SNR 
up that would be great.

Oh, and I try to make most meetings, If I miss it's usually family/job 
related or I'm not into the topic.

Also while where on the topic of mailing lists, why do we have 
trilug-announce if we double post all announcements to the main trilug@ 
list.  Either do away with trilug-announce, or only post it once place.  
If people really want the announcements it's not that hard to sign up.

Finally, it really gripes me that people who claim to be passionate 
about Trilug, send X number of emails on an issue, and then 
unsubscribe.  Put your adult clothes on please, there doesn't exist a 
place where your going to like everything everyone says.  Ignore what 
you don't like, act like a grown up, and put your energy into fixing it 
or trying to fix it and not into whining and complaining.  I understand 
people get burned out after so long, but again we're supposed to be 
intelligent adults, stop taking it personally, get over it, move on, 
make the LUG better.  If your answer in life is that when things get 
tough you quit, then we're better off without you.  That being said, I 
don't mean this as a personal attack, just my opinion on the subject,  I 
think the people who have unsubscribed are good people who will be 
missed by me and the LUG.
