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:)
