hehe... I saw that coming :)
It so happens to many that once the plunge is taken into a full time job, people tend to look at (GLUG/LUG)'s as a waste of time. They kind of forget that its still one of the coolest places to interact with some VERY interesting people. Also, many a time reading the good old linuxer's mail's is the most fun part of the day :-) really, especially the humorous comments and even the occasional flame war :-)
It's quite sad that once we get into our cubicles (I did last year) everything outside is lost and the only IT advances that we see is that which is done by our company. Linux for many is only on servers for example. For me at least, the list and other resources (Slashdot for e.g.) give a welcome release from the frog-in-the-well view.
And yes, some flamewars are fun ;)
