While I agree with the lack of action at times on the part of Apple, I dont
agree with just saying a group is not a group just because they dont meet in
the physical realm. We do online and also have physical meetings once in a
while. I personally am also a member of other online groups.
But does this make us any less of a group? Not likely, considering we have
been around since 1978 (in one respect or another). Our current presence is
online and our magazine is in online format. (This is both for ecological
reasons as well as for speed purposes).
While we also at times talk about rumors, our group has always tried to
focus on the items which are in existance. However, every group at one time
or another has fed on a rumor. I would suggest not totally slamming SpyMac
until you know all the facts about their group. (What next? Do you come
after groups like us? and then maybe even groups that have meetings in town
halls and libraries?) Groups like ours have meetings, elections, officers
and other aspects of daily User Group life all online with everything in the
realm of convenience and available at any time, not just during the meeting
time.

If Spymac is a Mac User Group then I believe we should contact pudge
