I meant it literally.  Robby told me about 18 months ago that PDXLUG
would not tell people that they are the Portland Linux User Group, but
just PDXLUG.  As I understand it, that was the arrangement he worked
out with David Mandel.  I suggest you ask him about it.

I am not trying to recruit you.  I am simply asking that you use
language in a way that doesn't confuse people.
