New Verari System 1U Web/Mail Server - ASSISTANCE PLEASE

[Mike Schwartz]

picayune nit-pick:
> at the next WestSide Stammtiche on Broadway [...]

technically, the one "on Broadway"
(I have been there -- once! -- the May [16/] 17, 2009
   meeting of the local "open street map dot org" group,
   http://www.meetup.com/arizonaopenstreetmap/
   was there)
is considered "East side".

The "WestSide" stammtisch is in Avondale.

Those driving from Mesa or A.J. might well have to
   "go West young man" to get to the
   Location   Boulders on
Broadway<http://www.meetup.com/arizonaopenstreetmap/venue/682032/?eventId=10360720&popup=true>

   530 W Broadway Rd
   Tempe, AZ 85282
   (480) 921 9431
    but it is still considered an "East Side" stammtisch.
