I have felt the same way, and I have begun to describe the law of two feet a bit more generously than before. Now I tell people that the law says that if you are not learning or contributing where you are, you can use your two feet/wheels/etc. to go elsewhere; OR you can use your two feet to stand where you are and figure out how to either learn or contribute there. I might suggest letting your group know that you are neither learning or contributing, and want their help to figure out what to do. Jeff Aitken
