Or a feeling of webgeek belonging? Or just something to put on the resume to impress the internet-clueless? <br>Is this an example of (cliche #1)"keeping your friends close and your enemies closer"? Or (cliche #2) "I wouldn't want to join any club that would have me as a member"? Do I have any idea what I'm talking about? post:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.879 Wed, 01 Mar 2000 10:07:40 -0800 wendell icann icannmembers http://www.metafilter.com/879/#1352 I was also one of aforementioned Americanskis.

Sheesh. comment:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.879-1352 Wed, 01 Mar 2000 11:39:31 -0800 tdecius
