Sorry about that, you picked a bad day to visit the site as I was in the middle of upgrading that mirror set from 160gb to 750gb, and was having fun with a bad drive. The site's up again, though running on a degraded mirror until Newegg's RMA process can get me a new drive. The mailing list doesn't run on that site, only the (out of date) website.

That said, KULUA's certainly not as busy as KCLUG. We don't do meetings and socials like we used to, but our mailing list is still active and we stay on-topic for the most part. I certainly don't want to get into any kind of dumb "KULUA vs KCLUG" debate however, as I think arguing about that kind of stuff is dumb, and there's always room for more Linux and Unix groups. However, I will say that it's pretty amazing that you could have a flamewar about both Hitler AND Catholicism at the same time. That's impressive. :)

We use Google Groups, membership is moderated, and recruiters and people without local ties aren't approved. This keeps the spam down. I rarely have to moderate anything on KULUA's list, but rest assured if we start hearing about the Pope or Hitler, I'll wear my fascist hat and wield my ban-stick. ;)

Have fun in whatever you guys do, and hello to the folks I know on this list. :) Jeffrey.

So long, and thanks for all the fish. I looked at the last 10 topics on the kulua/www.kulua.org list (their webserver finally came back up) and they are much more focused:
