I am continually amazed at the collective breadth and depth of
knowledge of the members of KPLUG. I've yet to see a subject or
question that at least one member could not answer or at least provide
an idea of how to find the answer. It seems no matter what the
subject, geeks see everything as a problem to be solved. And not just
any solution. Even though the first solution might be an ugly hack,
there exists a desire to come up with a more elegant solution.

I sometimes wonder what the world would be like if geeks ran the show
instead of people like Dubya and Cheney.
