   There are Emacs user groups who meet in person, but there has never been a Microsoft Word user group in the entire history of the universe. There is a reason for this.

   #Emacs #MicrosoftWord

     @datalinkdroid sadly my local university's "linux" user group is a counterexample to this

     @screwtape You are being too subtle for me, as I don't know what you mean :-)

     @datalinkdroid my local university has close relationship with Microsoft; one condition of the LUG being hosted on campus was that it promote Microsoft-y things (I'm sure someone else would frame this differently)

     @screwtape Ah. Okay. It's certainly on the nose, that. This sort of thing that is happening to Linux is why I have had a lot more interest in the *BSD (mainly OpenBSD) creatures of late.
