There is only one Birmingham Perl Mongers group so it shouldn't have been too hard to find us :) Plus the fact that the previous announcement (which you replied to) already mentioned the UK. Maybe it's just that Europeans are more aware that (the original) Birmingham is in the UK ;) -- Barbie \| Birmingham Perl Mongers user group \| http://birmingham.pm.org/	[reply]

Well, yes, I first thought "Birmingham Alabama?". But then that didn't make sense for a Europe conference. I think the point I was trying to make is that too many announcements go out leaving out key pieces of details that are painfully obvious to the announcers but are completely lost on the audience. This was a gentle nudge in that direction, and maybe a heads-up for other annoucements here. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

merlyn, I did a little detective work for you. I went to the Perl Mongers homepage. Checked Europe, searched for Birmingham and found it is in the UK. Cheers - L~R	[reply]

Good job, but ponder how many European countries Braga might have been in. I think merlyn's comment was warranted.

No one was being flippant, and I don't know of any other Bragas in Europe. Peace.	[reply]

talexb, I think merlyn's comment was warranted Who said it wasn't? I had no idea myself so I did the research and posted the results. Do you believe I was being flippant? Out of curiosity, why did you bring up "Braga"? I researched Birmingham which is what merlyn asked about. Cheers - L~R	[reply]

At least for me, Braga returns only hits for the one Braga in Portugal. What other Bragae are there?	[reply]
