>> I'd guess the problem was something other than lack of interest/demand.
You're right - maybe their redeeming feature is that they weren't party to whatever went on before. The other co-organizers are Andrew Brust = data analytic role, Leonard Lobel is another SQL Server MVP. Would have expected that
http://www.meetup.com/New-York-SQL-Server-Meetup/ would be a more obvious stomping ground... this is sort of like 3 members of the Crocodile Dundee Fan club suddenly popping up as co-organizers of the Donald Trump Funding Drive. Would be interested to hear KG's take!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
