  That'd be great!
  Only one catch .. the politics involved in creating anything beyond
 a "meet in the caf' for coffee and talk" group would be so
 hellatious as to make it impossible. Maybe our faculty's more uptight

 of them would bring a rain of fire down from heaven. To try to talk
 ethics with some of these people would be pretty interesting.
