First things first: It'll be great to have you back, George! You've been missed. Between Natural Male Enhancement, Norton Antivirus, Russian mortgages, "Naughty Email!", URGENT REQUEST FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, and the fact that I've seldom logged in daily of late, something slipped under the RADAR.

I know you have good intentions, Michelle, but the Westside meetings (4th Tuesday monthly, now all scheduled in HT1 Teleconference through December 2004, for ref.) are Westside PLUG. I encourage you to find a way to schedule a room for your classes, or occasionally schedule a meeting as a newby class, but my room reservation is for PLUG meetings. Perhaps you could hold classes after some meetings, but I'd be loathe to tell a presenter s/he had to stop by a particular time, short of 10pm. If we can get back to having a week or more notice of the impending topic (Hi again, George!) I'll post notices on campus to help increase turnout. I *like* newbies. Some of my best friends are newbies, but they can't take away my PLUG meetings. Steve No kitty! No! Dammit kitty! That's my pot pie!
