<I have read with interest about the formation of BLUG and I am frankly

African).

saying that we still want to be members!
Gerry, and Nathan c.s.
Here I must come to the immediate rescue of our trusted Belgian friends:
the daring suggestion of the founding of a B(enelux) LUG came from
Amsterdam,
home of the free spirits and all that.
And all Europeans, Brits included, indeed all world citizens, are welcome,
but they better speak Dutch! If not, we poor guys from the Benelux will
automatically
revert to English, as we already do all day long! Give us a break! ;-{)
