- Normally, I would be responding to this on DCS and/or DECUServe. Unfortunatly,
- I still have no communiucations (Don, I should be back up by this weekend! :-)
- ) to there, so I'll respond here.
-
- The above is true of many "LUGers". These are people who are active at the
- Local User Group level of DECUS, but not the national level. I could almost
- guarentee that the LUG librarian for this area wouldn't pay out-of-pocket and I
- know that his company won't pay.
-
- In fact, I know, no matter how deeply I have been involved with DECUS, that I
- would most likely drop off the rolls. It would really be a matter of principle
- for me, but I haven't been paid for the hours that I have given to/for DECUS. I
- have done it because I enjoy it. To have to pay for the priviledge of being
- involved in DECUS leadership, well, sorry it won't wash.
