You were told this by whom?  They are wrong.

CLUE isn't looking for sponsors and LPI had sponsors before it incorporated.
In fact, one of the founders of LPI had to keep the initial sponsorship money
in a personal bank account until the incorporation was complete.

LPI, at least, had a clear mandate for its creation and wasn't an evolution,
usurpment, whatever of another organization.

Who is this 'they' that you speak of?  I don't see anyone from CLUE or LPI
weighing in on this.  Unless you mean me.  And I haven't said anything about
CLUE or LPI except that CLUE has a programme that it hopes to launch and that
its incorporation has been made available for TLUG's use in the past.  

I'm representing myself as a member of TLUG.

Could you share this picture of which you speak with the rest of us?

Regards,
