[BALUG-Talk] Just 2 simple country questions -was- Re: BALUG Leadership / Appropriate List topics

[john_re]

Andrew - It's not a _discussion_.

&, perhaps it will be helpful if I rephrase it, so
I'll change/simplify it from "asking (you) to make a decision
> on behalf of balug".

It's just two simple questoons:

"---  5!) (Because we're trying to be logical) - 

So, Andrew, I thought I'd better ask you well in advance of the meeting,
here on this public community list:

Would it would be OK for me to both 

[Ok, Andrew, I'll change that to:
(Since you are the speaker-arranger / Host / MC 
  (for lack of my knowing the exact term))
"Is it OK with _you_ if I".  Ergo: ]


Is it OK with _you_ if I
1) listen to the talk remotely?, & 
2) to ask a question (time permitting, as for all audience questions) to
the speaker from remotely?


Thanks for your kind consideration.   :) 

All the best, to you, Andrew, & the community.   :) "

Mr. Fife.  I wrote a funny, lauditory (of you) reply to this, yesterday,
but I don't have time to copy & paste it here.

Please read the part "BALUG Mailing Lists:" on the main BALUG page, &
the part "About BALUG-Talk" on the B-T list page.

My questions are not "off-topic" here.

My questions are not 
"* "admin" - administrivia (for those interested in the inner workings
of the BALUG group)"

they are
"* "talk" general public BALUG, Linux and related discussion"

They are _not_ "trivia".  They are "general public BALUG related"
questions.


I _LOVE_ you, bro.  I think you do a _GREAT_ job as speaker arranger, or
whatever it is, for BALUG.  I know you're knew around these (Linux
community) parts.

But, I've got to "3 and out" this topic!

"I don't want to "affect change" " (I says to myself in mock despair), 
But, I do love "management-speak"!  ;)
