[sf-lug] End Monday Evening meetings? Please Discuss

[maestro]

whoa...
asking for opinions on a public mail list...
you ARE a brave soul ;-))


so you threw a barbary coast penny @ me for my thoughts hence i shall
penny ante in so i don't have to make change...


not much up side to monday evening other than those who come by after
'work'/'school'
and we haven't seen much of that if any.


sunday loyalty is worthy of honoring and extending the time would only
benefit and possibly manifest
more interest from those whom will travel farther and those whom seek
help...
folks can always leave when they want and if all decide to leave earlier
someone can quickly post to the mail list
that everyone's leaving [e.g. "seems at this point all that are coming are
here and we're ready to head out"].


>>>m......>>>


message ends.
