I'm not interested in keeping AUUG alive. I think it's been dead for
some time. A few people are pumping the corpse because they loved what
it was.

That said, some of its outputs, like AUUGN and whatnot, and especially
the many email addresses that people still use, are worth keeping, and
it's a reasonably simple thing to define. That's what I'm prepared to
help with. Although to be honest I'm already having second thoughts, as
this whole thing seems to be readying itself to go around again!

That offer has already been made, I thought?

The real reason is that no-one knows what AUUG is *for* any more. They
want to keep it, but they don't know why...

What's wrong with the constitution?
