I figured there was a good reason, and giving a meeting to people who
work Wednesday evenings but not Tuesdays (or vice versa) does make a lot
of sense.

So people who are denied their Tuesday KCLUG meetings will have their own

Hmph.  Now I have to drag out my "Fiddler on the Roof" soundtrack and
listen to it again.  I've forgotten enough of the "Tradition!" song to
not be able to quote any now.
