[svlug] ACCU meeting is still on as far as I know.

[Steven Widom]

Hello:

I was very surprised to see that one of the messages from the SVLUG used 
my e-mail and claimed that this month's ACCU meeting is cancled. (The 
message in question is contained in svlug Digest, Vol 338, Issue 4.)

I am not in a position to speak for the ACCU, and I assume the meeting 
is still on.

I will run security checks on my system, and I have already sent an 
e-mail notice to the administrators of both the ACCU and SVLUG mailing 
lists.
