I don't think anybody is talking about discontinuing the main group.
Basically, I think people are considering starting ALE chapters or something along this line. It seems to me the pupose of having chapters is not to dilute the main group, but to provide a easy way of differentiating between ALE, ALE-NE, ALE-S and whatever other ALE-**'s that arise. It's for organizational/informational puposes only. 

If we don't do something, it's gonna be babelyon. For instance: Is the meeting this thursday an ALE-N meeting or an ALE meeting or an ALE-S meeting...?... Plus, geographically dividing ALE makes it possible to have many presentations in one month as opposed to only one. It also increases the likelyhood that in each month, at one of the ALE meetings, there will be something (Presentation of something new...) for **everyone** in the Atlanta area. I live in Alpharetta. However, if ALE-S was presenting something I **really** was psyched about, I'd be there.


Best
