Are you currently going to your LUG meetings?

Sometimes - though the COiN (Central Ontario iSeries Network) meetings 
conflict with my KWLUG (Kitchener-Waterloo Linux Users Group) meetings, so 
I usually go to whichever is most interesting.  TUG (Toronto Users Group) 
is too far for me to justify going - I like my sleep too much!

Would you go to your LUG meetings, more or less likely, if your major 
presenter was a TV screen?

I'd be more likely to go if the presentations were of a higher calibre / 
more relevant to developers.

Would the next step be, why travel at all?  Why not just have a webcast 

at 

home or work?  Or do you still like a little personal interaction?

I don't really see the networking as a major benefit, but can be nice 
sometimes.  Since travel distance to Kitchener for COiN meetings is not 
too far, I'd likely go anyway.
