What I suggest is, As long as BDLUG is not a registered organization, transfer lug.org.bd to such a person who is solely devoted to BDLUG. I hope, everybody will agree that Mujahed would be such a person. And after that, who ever want to maintain the site, let him do. We can help him, suggest him from side. BTW, I don't know who is current owner of lug.bd.org Thanks, Mohammad Khan > > -- > Ahmed Arif Sirajee > 880172961331 > ------------------------ Yahoo!
