The more I think about the past few weeks' TLUG mail list, the more it
seems to me like we're experiencing "the clash of civilizations"  (as in
the Huntington book)

Maybe we should make "the jargon file" and "the hacker crackdown"
mandatory readings for new TLUGers ... those helped me get to know and be
comfortable (to some extent) with the haxor mindset and culture.
