Now, I can see the need for a support group for .NET users group, as no one really knows what it does. But, an UG founded by for-profit companies? That are Microsoft Certified Partners? With prize givaways listed on the meeting schedule? Something don't smell right. Oh, and they have banner ads too." However genuine or organized, local "support groups" seem like a good idea to me. Maybe we could all go toss a frisbee?

Actually they're 12-Step programs...

Picture a dozen people on folding chairs in a church basement. A guy stands up.
Guy: "Hi, I'm Larry. I'm a dot net user..."
Group: "Hi Larry!"

Sorry -that just popped into my head when I saw that it was a DNUG - I figured it was for people who wanted to stop using it.

Forgive me, it's late here...

Cheers,
Jim
