[vcf-midatlantic] Ways the Federation COULD make money

[Joseph Oprysko]

Well, I was at VCFeX, But even after that, I wasn't super active on the
online boards.  I do want to get more involved though, and I have past
non-profit experience, which I think could be helpful as well, computers
and I have always had a way of working well together, ever since the
1980's, so this type of organization and I think would work together really
well.  Just sometimes I get too carried away.

Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot.
Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do.
Normal Person: So you go surfing?
Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a
lot...
Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level.
Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?
