Me.

This isn't a mores and lesses argument. PLUG is the Perth Linux Users' Group.

This is pretty down wayne. I don't intend to lessen my participation in PLUG.
PLUG is fun because it is a diverse group of people who enjoy all things Linux.
I'll continue to post to PLUG in my off-the-wall way because I like word play
and the casual conversation that is a part of PLUG's culture. I'll also continue
to pay my subs because I receive a lot (not just technically but socially too)
from PLUG; that is, the people who are PLUG.

All the best
