And in consideration I realize that not everyone would have a clue what
I meant by that. I don't see "user groups" as involved with PgUS. I see
them as involved with PostgreSQL. They can use the services that PgUS
offers, provide their own services , request from SPI (or PgEU as
appropriate etc..) or any combination thereof. User groups are
entirely autonomous to me.

Micro communities make the stronger Macro community.
