I think if Arthur wants more direction or intellectual stimulization in
Aklug he should help provide it. I am a user, myself, go to Friday Nite ,
and from my perspective we have introduced many new people to Linux, and
continue to do so.

This is only one aspect of Aklug, it is very successful, it is all I am
able to help out in . If some group of Aklugers need more they need to
provide it, not make the people who are helping the entry level feel less
deserving. Aklug is working.
