Spies at our meetings? Say it isn't so. We will have to route out
these infidels and expose them as the traitors... er I mean... ;)

Nope. We give (gave) away all of the donated books. I doubt we could
fine someone willing to store/transport books for the club. Besides
which I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that most actual club
members get the bulk of their info online. Dead-tree information is fine
for some clubs, but Linux/OpenSource moves to fast IMHO.

Sometimes yes, but not frequently enough any more to rely on it.

The club has very few paying members these days. If you wanted to
contribute the small $20 fee we ask each year I'm sure everyone
would be grateful. We do not need much money to keep things running
however we do need to think of the future for equipment purchases
if/when our server dies.
