[wplug] Will the real WPLUG please take charge

[Jonathan Billings]

CMU's KGB isn't a pro-soviet farce of an organization.  It's a CMU

Anyway, bethlynn has been putting a lot of effort into making this

productive effort at getting information about open source software and 
our group to the right people.

I fail to see how you flaming beth about it is any more productive.
