[TriLUG] an increasingly annoying trend at trilug meetings

[Craig Duncan]

If there were more order during the meetings, there would be more time for 
social interaction at the end. Personally, I think it is disrespectful to the 
speakers and to the rest of the audience to continually interupt with 
childish  and/or irrelevant geek jokes - save them for later when we can all 
laugh together.

As for Kevins introductory speeches..., this is an excellent opportunity to 
set the tone for the evening, the choice is yours.
