The best way to find out what goes in the Manchester FSFE group is to come 
along and talk to us. You don't seem to have received the last few emails that 
I sent you, only ones that were sent to public mailing lists. Perhaps you 
could check your filters to make sure my messages are getting through?

When the Manchester FSFE group started more than a year ago we discussed 
whether we would have talks from speakers, and decided that we would try 
without them. Since then, new attendees have joined and the group decided to 
invite speakers when we're able.

You are always welcome to come along.

I think that you misunderstood me Michael. I believe that I expressed to you 
over a beer last year that I felt that some of the MFS talks last year would 
have been more accessible if they had focused less on technical details. Is 
this what you're referring to?

Sam.
