Ahem, kind sir, I beg your pardon. BAADG is != a "user group". The last
two letters stand for "developers group". (was the DevCon merely another
Amiga Show??) There is a difference between
a BAADG meeting and a meeting of the Southern Idaho Amiga Users and 
Knitting Club ("tonites guest is Hilda Grimly demonstrating 'TextCraft 1.0'!!").

Considering the fact that the Amiga LG people, developers as far away as
LA, regularly go our of their way to attend, and considering the fact 
that a fair number of members have products on the shelves, I humbly
suggest that the material covered hearin is of greater interest to the
overall Amiga community then Hilda Grimly.

Plus, many of the products that YOU will buy, we will write, it is in your
best interest to support such gatherings.
