Brad is correct as to the structure of CLUG. One possible solution is to
subscribe the CLUG list to the LUG list, but this strikes me as defeating
the purpose.

In the past I have offered to be a CLUG contact, but only so long as other
CLUG members remain comfortable with this. This was the case with LCA
2003. Tridge is another obvious candidate, but he gets quite busy...

Perhaps some form of moderation for non-subscribers then? That way, a CLUG
concern can still be raised, without us seeing the rest of the content.
