There sees to be a camaraderie that has bonded us together in spite of an absolute lack of any organization. Somehow it fits. Unix is not the most straight forward operating system : manuals written in the skimpiest manner that defy even the experts to understand all their contents; vast differ-ences in the machinery on which the operating system runs; to a different "flavour" of the thing from software vendor to software vendor.Yet there seems to be a quiet pride between its practioners in this occult nature of Unix. The Unix world,therefore, by default is anarchic and the people who live in this world tend to be non-conformists. So the very thought of order being imposed upon the hallowed halls of UU somehow defiles the dis-organization that I have come to love. Maybe the hidden agenda is to make UU and /usr/group/cdn so much alike that any objection to their final union can be surmouunted:-- or am I just being paranoid? Is the catered food the next step in the dialbolical plot? Tune in to the next episode when we find out that there's a plan to charge an annual membership fee. Hackers of the world unite !!

I have to agree, I live well within the confines of this chaos. Why add order?
