My personal take on this is that 3rd Saturday was chosen for a good
reason.  While we could move NTLUG meetings to another time slot, my
guess is that we would collide with even more Saturday activities.

NTLUG has grown since moving from the Infomart.....it may be hard to
show that the group will experience more growth by avoiding the
conflict with the Xchange.  If attendance decreases for some reason
we'll end up second guessing our decision.  I guess what I trying
to point out is that there are some who do want to go to 3rd
Saturday....and there may be some who do go to 3rd Saturday who
would like to attend NTLUG....but it's hard to for me to know
just how many it is.  Perhaps the choice of 3rd Saturday by
the Xchange was just a lucky guess....but I wonder if it was
chosen for a reason...avoiding the most conflict.

Is there sufficient evidence to motivate a change? (playing the
hard conservative)
