I wasn't going to TriLUG meetings during this period, so 
there's a missing piece for me too. NCSA was having the 
opposite problem, so if crowding was the problem with TriLUG 
at RTI, they should have loved having NCSA.

The message we got from RTI was that educational meetings, 
unless for the benefit of RTI staff, weren't part of their 
mission.

I just remember appearing at RTI one night and we weren't 
allowed in. Communications within NCSA weren't well 
organised at the time and I expect several people let the 
ball drop. But the thing I took away was RTI's attitude 
about things that didn't directly benefit RTI.
