[Novalug] To the man with the child, manners during meetings?

[Frank Hale]

That's like saying "Could the assholes that make it take 2 hours to
drive 25 miles on i66 please stay home, you are causing me to not have
enough time with my family and it's really getting annoying..."

Maybe you should have people pay to go to LUG meetings, then they'd be
more apt to listen instead of playing games. At least you'd get the
people who want to be there rather than the people who just show up
because it's free and they can.
