This thread was begun as a statement to illustrate and protest the behaviour and action of certain unnamed (and franky, unknown) LUG members, with respect to covering their dues at LUG beermeeting events. Rather than issuing comments to support your friends & colleagues in the LUG, who may have sustained some financial loss, you have devoted your energies to creating a flamewar of infantile proportions, over the social convention of tipping servers. Why might you take this occasion of our loss, as an opportunity to beat your several chests, over an issue that is obviously both insoluble, and incendiary? Soapboxes gathering too much dust? If you'd like to get on-topic, and yet still thoroughly miss the point, why not open a debate on the potential merits of sliently screwing over your friends & associates behind their backs. I'd like to see the contrasting colors there displayed on that subject. Get it?
