This question surfaces every 6 months or so.  People DO come from out-of-state
and from out-of-country to the meetings.  The announcement would have been (and
now is) in comp.sys.amiga.announce, but there were (are?) some connectivity
problems between the SF Bay Area and Davis and, as I prefixed the announcement,
the time-sensitivity necessitated my posting to this newsgroup this time.

Prior years' public explanations for the BADGE Meeting distribution seemed to
have rubbed some people the wrong way, so if you want a copy of the explanation
send me email; be forewarned there are still some email problems in and out of
PORTAL since the switch to Internet distribution earlier this month.
