[SATLUG] need help...everything is popping up Linux!

[Hector Bojorquez]

Shawn is correct... one of many LUGs weaknesses .. is the "boy's club house"
syndrome...
You can come in .. but only if you understand our hand signals, rituals,
etc.
And God help you if you don't follow our arcane rituals .
That recruiter's posting was not spam... you can spin it that way if you
want... but it just looks silly to do so.
It would have been spam if she had been advertising for Viagra or
Cialis....
