I'm curious that while in some places our PUGs cover very large geographical area (such as the newly proposed South East Asia PUG mailing list, which BTW I haven't gotten around to creating yet), others seem rather narrow in scope. I guess I'm just concerned that we might end up with one more mailing list with close to zero activity. I don't necessarily object to the new list, but I think this should be considered. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services

I don't know that would be the case, consider that Whatcom is where LFNW is. > > I don't necessarily object to the new list, but I think this should be > considered. Understood. I was actually surprised at the Asia one but there is a difference hear. Where we are dealing with millions in Asia, we are dealing with 200k in Whatcom. The reason I picked Whatcom is that although 50% of the population lives in Bellingham, the other 50% is all within 30-45 minutes of Bellingham and I didn't want to exclude those areas.

Perhaps it'd make more sense for folks in Whatcom county to subscribe to the SEAPUG list instead of creating another list that's going to have very little traffic? I realize it's not really a suburb of Seattle or anything, but perhaps we can consider that list to be more broadly "Washington state". Another option might be to have Vancover or maybe a Western Canada list, we currently only have Montreal & Toronto, but of course, both of those lists are also nearly devoid of any activity..
