Subject: Grammar, Was: PLUG Logo Update!
Hmm... Any English professors in the audience? We could do:

User
Users
User's
Users'

All of these examples can be found in use by other Linux groups on the
'net. We're a group of "Linux users," but we're also a "user group." So
I guess it depends on where you put the emphasis on the phrase. The Linux
group in Portland uses:
"Portland Linux Unix Group" which gets rid of the "is it plural or not"
problem all together. ;-)
