[TriLUG] Code of Conduct

[Andrew C. Oliver]

An example was that the occasional female that comes to the trilug 
meeting is ogled in IRC during the meeting (which can be rather 
embarrassing to the oglers if she turns out to be a bit younger than 
they hoped).  Also excessively aggressive sophomoric behavior or 
postings, not to be sexist but as a broad generalization, tends to turn 
women off the list faster than men.  It is occasionally like your 
average health club which results in a "Bodyworks for women" across the 
street.
