Ben,
I think one of the key differences between the groups is the target
demographic. Euglug strives to make itself accessible to people with a
wide range of technical skills and background. The IT Pro Forum group
is targeted primarily at people working in IT and related fields.

We shall do a much better programming job, provided we approach the task
with a full appreciation of its tremendous difficulty, provided that we
respect the intrinsic limitations of the human mind and approach the
task as very humble programmers. --- Alan Turing
