. . . and at the same time crushes the spirit of the movement. You
*NEED* eccentricity like that in a productive LUG. I've given talks to
literally dozens of LUGs and ACM chapters all across the country. Those
that swear, keep the faith. Those that attempt to modify the behavior of
their members do not benefit the open source community as a whole. You end
up with a hundred half-hearted people. I've seen it time and time again
over the last 7 years I've been "on the scene". :P
