Kaoru, I am a supporter of the idea of user groups proliferating in Arizona. Sometimes one group seems to have a maximum size and grows no farther, with additional opportunities for contribution stymied by this amorphous maximum. Additional groups can create space and place for more people to join in the movement. More groups also means more variety of topics and faster learning for those who want to regularly attend the meetings of several groups. We might hope that someday there may be so many user groups that it is not possible to prevent conflicting meeting times and dates.

Today is not that day. It is disappointing to think that a new group would choose to meet on the same day and time of another long established group.
