Good question! I always want to meet and discuss with people that do the same as I (are active within the same field). But for whatever reason, this feeling is often not mutual. I was once active in a Linux community in my home city. Almost every day, I wrote short messages on their listbot, about Linux, shell hacks, Emacs, etc. After some time, they warned me that if I kept it up sending "odd material" (?) to their listbot, they'd ban me for "two months". It *never* cease to amaze me, when I go to the gym, people are happy to see me, and everyone want to train with me, etc., but when I go to some computer community, there are always lots of people who get very frustrated, "you take that techno-techno-science to the streets, punk!", more or less. I think a big part of the people, maybe 20-30% of any computer community has a destructive outlook on activity, and on life in general. But note that I am very aware of the 80-70% who are great, so no one should take offence if they feel in their hearts they are not like the people I describe. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
