There are, however Informix did supply some funding for setting up the new group You do need Informix's support so you can get the 'right' people to the conferences. >Why does the contact for the group have an email address at informix.com ?? There is a non-Informix contact, the Chairman but I don't know his email of the top of my head. Infuse had it's problems but at least people had heard of it which is more than can be said for the new group. >Is he a sales/marketing type person or does he actually know what he is >talking about when it comes to informix issues. Informix have people whose role is to liase with user groups, Terry is the UK one, I can't remember you is the main contact, Claire/Sarah/Cathy or something similar >Does the new group not publicise its existence anywhere ?? No that I am aware of >The whole thing sounds like an golf exclusive club. Hmm, most user groups, and newsgroups for that matter, have a number of key members/supporters that do most of the work, and effectively run it. >And what does 'AFAIK' mean ?? As far as I Know BTW Computer Answers used to be members of Infuse but that might have been before your time there Paul Watson WF Software Ltd Tel: +44 1436 674729 Fax: +44 1436 678729 www.wfsoftware.com/informix # If you broke it, hide the evidence ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
