Over the history of the group I have volunteered a *lot* of my time to do
just that, Greg, so don't get sanctimonious on me. The reason why I didn't
continue is that eventually it becomes draining, not engaging, for all the
reasons I've already stated.

AKLUG is not working. It may be enough for a small handful, but if you
recall those days in the '90s it was *much* more lively and exciting than it
is now. Don't delude yourself. Much of the magic has gone, but I would
like to see it return to its former glory.
