Great, glad we agree there.

I know that pdxpug has basically said that they use Meetup and really
don't see value in cross-posting to that list.  Seapug appears to just
be -announce repostings, and lapug also has a meetup account that they
use.  Moveing ecpug to a Regional list is fine, of course.

I'd rather not have mailing lists which are just re-postings about
Meetups, if we can avoid it.
