I wonder if the whole thing has anything to do with the fact that Devon and Cornwall 
LUG actually call themselves a GLUG - GNU/Linux User Group as opposed to a plain LUG 
like most of the rest of the UKs LUGs.

Not saying that's a bad thing, but it's an indicator of the attitude/character of the 
list.
