As Ben mentioned, this list may not be the place for Technopolitical chatter, but is there a email list that is (local to Minnesota)? I would be interested in knowing about it (and perhaps joining after I exit the Samba list again). If none exists, would Mr. Tanner create one? :-) I would really like to know the standing of our political candidates on technological issues, but I think it might be a distraction here. >>> wilson at visi.com 10/09/02 09:49AM >>> On Wed, Oct 09, 2002 at 08:18:58AM -0500, Jay Kline wrote: > On Wed, 2002-10-09 at 07:31, Ben Bargabus wrote: > > > Clay or Bob, how many subscribers to TCLUG are there these days? > > Whatever number you come up with subtract one, > > I do not want to be a > > part of any group political statement. > I don't think the point is to make a political statement, but to get one > from the candidates.

In other words, a large group is more likely to get their questions answered than a single person. One person can be safely ignored, but 2,000 is a different story.
