<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "> The way I see it, if there is enough interest, a teacher and those that are interested can come together...anyone who doesn't want to, doesn't have to. I personally don't want to wait until march to learn the subject if it is possible to be taught sooner as time to work indoors on projects involving my computer are best served during the winter months rather then the busier spring, summer and fall seasons. Learning this information would allow me to practice and try it out during the next 4 months of colder weather. I did bring this up back when the request for ideas for meetings was sent out and being discussed. <DIV> Theres nothing "emergency" about it, its just as it is written, a simple request and a reply of people who are interested. If Dave is willing and able, it would be great for all who can, to be able to learn from his knowledge. This would, to me, apply to any lessons in which someone is willing to teach and there are sufficient number of people to attend as to make it worth the teachers time, preferably in the meetings, but if, as is this case, there isn't enough time but there IS enough interest, why not. Our goal should be to help each other in any way we feel we can as a group and as individuals when possible, thats why we are all members of this group, to learn and share knowledge and our love of the Mac.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Just my opinion,</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Dave Bernal</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"><DIV><DIV><DIV>On Oct 28, 2006, at 4:08 PM, John Kisner wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">There are several problems with having special meetings, the chief one being arranging a convenient time and place.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>The topic itself is of general interest, it's not really a "special interest," so why just add this to the normal schedule of meetings?</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">If you had brought this up before this past week's meeting, we would have been able to devote some time to it then.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>Me, I'm not crazy about the idea of calling emergency meetings, since it's enough of a strain to get to most of the 4th Tuesdays.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">When Matthew started trying to organize the meetings a little more in advance, one thing he mentioned was pairing two topics at each meeting.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>One would be fairly advanced, and one would be of more general interest.<SPAN class="Apple-converted-space"> </SPAN>I think that would be a good way to work "photo hosting" into the regular schedule.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Dmmug mailing list</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Use this Address to send mail to the list:</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="mailto:Dmmug@dmmug.org">Dmmug@dmmug.org</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Use this page to modify subscription options:</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://cialug.org/mailman/listinfo/dmmug">http://cialug.org/mailman/listinfo/dmmug</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; ">Christianity isn't something you profess with your mouth, it's something you profess with your life<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
