Does not surprise me in the least. About a year and a half ago, I made a 
post here about a new technology park in the Canton area. Recently Googled 
the name (Bluffs of Technology Park) and the thread on ALE was the # 2 and 
# 3 hits. And *many* times when searching for an answer to a linux related 
question ALE is in the first 10 hits.

Though strangely, I have encountered the Madason Wisconsin LUG almost as 
often while searching and have subscribed to their list too.
