Sure, there would be benefits, and some of us met a number of Toronto 
BSDer's at BSDCan.  But I don't think it would be useful in the current 
format. . .NYCBUG talk is a local mailing list with some remote 
members.  A forum would be more appropriate. . .maybe one just focused 
on newbie questions.  The BUG lists aren't just about technical issues, 
but also deal with local issues.

I'd be curious to see what others think. . .but it seems to me quite 
clear that a NYCBUG and a GTABUG list have diffferent audiences due to 
geography.  Nevertheless, we should look to coordinate other 
appropriate activities, such as the documentation project, book 
reviews, etc.
