I would like to think that every Linux geek (expert) has a little 
evangelist in him and would want to participate in helping along the 
nubies by passing on their knowledge.  But perhaps not everyone is a 
born again teacher? I would hope that the geeks would participate fully 
in both sections of any meeting, then the nubies can listen in awe while 
the geeks debate the finer points and aspire to greater things in the 
future.  See you all tonight.
