[wplug] LUG Interest Waning?

Lets put it this way if you are in Pittsburgh and have some work with
computers, it is only natural that you would end up with some
affiliation with CMU.  I don't believe it is bias.  Also CMU was used
because there were some people in WPLUG that worked there and were
members, just if there were people that were in wplug that had the same
kind of positions at Pitt we would have had them there.  And if some one
at Pitt would not go because wplug is held at CMU, then they probably
have a lot of other issues over not going because it is held at another
collage campus.

For the record I am an alumni of Pitt (and proud of it)
And use to work for CMU

That's not a troll.  I think there's a bias toward CMU in the group.
The meetings are at CMU, the servers are at CMU.  A lot of the active
members have current or past CMU affiliations.

Its natural for their to be a bias.  Its not a criticism, but its not
the first time I've heard that.
