Judging from my own LUG's list, a mass-mail with absolutely no
targetting whatsoever aside from "hey you guys do Linux and so do we!"
would not be favourably regarded.
Some kind of indication of research (ie "I see you had a presentation on
vim...") would make the judgement much more favourable.
Also, if the LUG has a committee or administrators of any type, asking
them if the mail is appropriate can be a good idea.
