Web site development

[robert at kclinux.com]

Don't sweat it... I was being serious.  I'm most interested in seeing the LUG's
website get revamped.  Whether its me or someone else doesn't bother me. Believe
me... I have PLENTY to do with kclinux.com without adding a whole other site to
my 'to-do' list.
