I don't think Michael was really concerned about user group lists! ;->
However, thinking about the lists..
I think I should point out - as far as NUG mailing lists goes - that
emis-list is an open list: you don't have to be an EMIS user to join -
or a member of the NUG.
This does place constraints on lurkers replying to the list - although
some posters of problems have come back to the list to say they were
contacted directly!
I believe both the iSoft and INPS user group lists are closed i.e. only
system users can join - which means that the companies can respond
directly with confidence that only their product users will be able to
read the responses..
I have no information about TPP user group lists.
Ignorance on my part.
