[advocacy-discuss] New OSUG - Vancouver request

[James Purdy]

Hi All,


As Alan C mentioned:

>VanOSUG also seems easier to pronounce (that or "VancOSUG").

I, personally, am relatively ambivalent to what the link says.  VANOSUG
works better than VAOSUG.  As below, I don't think there will be much in the
way of confusion with Vancouver, WA.

I must say, though, I am enjoying the level of pedantry!  Looks like I will
fit in well here... :-D

James
