I think I am on record many times as pointing this out myself.  However,
this particular case refered to Linux specifically.

We are listed as a LUG on many web pages.  I have often refered to us as a
'defacto LUG'.  I would list us with groups of *nix users (and have done
so) but there aren't so many around.

Although Open Systems are mentioned in the Con it isn't the primary focus
so much as Unix.  After all, I wouldn't say a SCO user was not welcome,
but SCO is hardly open :)  Without reaching for the Con I seem to remember
it said "Unix and Open Systems".
Cheers,
