The list should be open to both professionals and amateurs.
All the same, open to amateurs and newbies - is very different from,
and does not imply, open to illegal or childish posts.

So true.  Of the Linux users i've met through means other than LUGs,
*none* of them new about the LUGs.

+1 to either banish tinyurl/bit.ly, or to always postfix with bracketed
real domain.
