Now that the bashing has moved from Mike Lorrey, It's my turn. Go ahead.
Pour it full on!

I'm not trying to be a spokesperson, just trying to get some action out of
you uhhh. people (pollitically correct). I want to create a list of all
members and then release the list of members onto the mailinglist so people
can know who is closest to them and if they wish to contact these people
further, they can do it via private email. This way it would allow
organization of many more local groups even if they are smaller. I'm not
trying to be spokesperson or savior for the group, thats not my job. All I
want is some action instead of us all sitting on our asses like some of us
currently are!
