Geeks? Drinking beer? Never :P

Sounds good :P I'd avoid the 1st Saturday of each month though, as they
sorta belong to ShefLUG, and I know some people who would want to attend
both.

With my list-admin hat on:
"Reduced rates and/or waiver of fee are available for Linux/BSD-related
advertisements. You must consult the list administrator in advance of
posting for any reduction or fee waiver."

So, if you post a link saying "This may be of interest to some members"
it will certainly be approved.
Something more blatent, for example: "Linux Co-lo servers for sale!! BUY
YOURS FOR $$$LOWLOW$$$" should be sent to slugbug-owner at email-lists.org
for approval.
If in doubt, e-mail us first :P

Cheers,
Neil
