I put more posts on luv because i mostly do replies rather than questions,
and there hasn't been many questions on mlug.

I see mlug as better for socializing because it's usually held in a room
instead of an auditorium. I haven't been for months because i live a long
distance away.

There's more point-n-click distros for newbies, so there's less questions
in some areas.
