Sure, but what do *you* know about any of this anyway.

I will suggest that those who are really determine should call it
"group 6".  In fact, when you see the letters B.A.Y.L.I.S.A you
will think "group 6" and be done with it.

No, MY main issue that keeps we away from meetings is that as
someone who lives pretty near the Bay ("group" to you others),
getting from OaklandBerkeley to Apple is hell.  Well, heck at
least.  I briefly contemplated a job at Apple and having
neither catapult, chopper nor pneumatic tube, considered the
Rt24 -> Cuperitino  motorcycle ride.

Perhaps Steve Jobs would lend us E. Bayers his chopper for 'air pooling'.
