Well why don't you volunteer to help update it and add to it?

That's opinion. If you don't like irrelevant posts, maybe you should ignore
them.

Then go get us some.

Encompasses ours without being overly broad? What the heck is that supposed
to mean?

In your opinion it is, until you realize that not everyone wants to drive over
two hours just to attend a LUG / OSUG meeting. Me, I'm military, I don't
want to have to drive that far, so I might start my own "chapter" of NMLUG
here.
But in general, if you think the grass is greener on the other side, that's
fine, but why not cultivate the grass on your own side? The reason our
"grass isn't greener" is because people need to be volunteering to help in
the areas that you brought up.
With that said, let me ask all of NMLUG, is there help wanted? If so, please
let us know what needs to be done and I'll try to help out.
