Funny, I was just thinking earlier about how it's so neat to be on a mailing list with a mix of other geeks, open-source zealots, and technical professionals. The simple fact that we are NOT well-defined (as per the flamebait in my previous sentence) is empowering to me. I consider it most like a microcosm of slashdot users, except that we are also bound to our physical local, on this planet err I mean here atop the Willamette Valley. Thanks, all; I have just subscribed to the activism list below and am cc'ing this thread there -- this sort of (less-immediately-practical, shall I say) banter belongs there moreso...
