> Just about... > > I'm still a little confused. Who are PLUG? PLUG is the Portland Unix/Linux Users Group. They are older than PDXLug. It is my understanding that PDXLug was created because PLUG was not servicing the needs of the people who started PLUG. PLUG is bigger in terms of people but also suffers a great deal from white noise on their lists. > Are there interminglers? Yes. > Are PLUGgers human? Only the ones that intermingle ;) Actually I know a couple and they are good people. > Do they wear hooded robes and meet under bridges > by candlelight to commit script-kiddie style discussion? Unfortunately yes. They had to recently change the robes though because they were threatening to be sued by Nickolodian because they were Spongebob yellow. Sincerely, Joshua D.
