I didn't make it very clear, but my questions were not meant to be critical of any person or database that selects candidates for Slashdot Meetups. realize they're voted upon, and I may well have voted for Tournament Billiards.  I was just curious as to how Slashdot Meetup finds out about places in the Lansing area.  Does anyone "here" know how?
