No worries! As noted (earlier msg), one QAUUG committee member is alive
and well, and interested. So that's all good.

I have a nice track record of actually merging some duplicate
organisations in The Netherlands ;-)  The Dutch, more than any other
nation I know of, have this fantastic tendency of creating dozens of
groups that do exactly the same thing, but they insist it's all special
and different. Of course the individual groups then also split into
multiples over disagreements, etc. It's very silly, really ;-)

So anyway, don't wanna see that here! Please. AUUG and HUMBUG can
complement eachother nicely, and also work together as you described.
That, at least, is MHO on the matter. Hope this puts your mind at ease
;-)


Regards,
Arjen.
