Me too. Meetup.com has simply inserted itself as a middleman in a
function performed by LUGs themselves from the 1990's. Notice their
indemnification clauses and other odious legalspeak. Notice that they
advertise other meetings to your audience, so they're really using your
group as an advertisement, perhaps pulling people away.

I hope not too, and I'm glad ALE has a mailing list independent of
meetup.com.
