Doesn't take much!  :)  Get really pissy on the TriLUG list, abuse and
alienate the SC and most of the membership, then start your own LUG.
Hey, why not play it up a bit!  Make yourself some ceremonial robes and
put a bunch of lego-guys in circle around your desk bowing before your
obvious magnificence!

Or you could laugh at this and stay the stable bloke you are.

I swear, if he ever gets into politics...

We're actually a pretty happy group.  More so without Theo.  Theo isn't
happy, but he has his own group now.

I remember when the split was happening.  "I've seen mailing lists on
fire off the shoulder of Orion."  I was disappointed to see someone walk
away from the project to start his own splinter project.  At the time, I
didn't think the world needed another BSD group, but the on going flame
war had to stop.

I will admit, though, that since then the OpenBSD group has done quite
a bit to make BSD more secure (many of their patches are mirrored into
Net and Free) and to raise the awareness of BSD in general.
