LOL That's ok then.

Agreed it is a different community and students can be a bit wide eyed
when exposed to the activist type community outside those comforting
walls. Saturday would be good for anyone interested in setting up a Uni
SF tho'.
It would be good to have cross-fertalisation of ideas - especially
about building forums as those students may be winging elsewhere - in
fact, going back totally on what I said earlier, Saturday would be good
for those interested in setting up LSF's in their home town - we could
have Sheffield as a little LSF training centre - sort of like
Afghanistan but instead of trained terrorists we would be sending open
space operatives around the world, and there would be slightly less
chance of getting bombed by the US.
Also, you need to reply to Ssf at lists.aktivix.org to send to the list,
otherwise this becomes a private conversation, then again that might be
for the best:)
