Or worse case, drink and be merry! :)
I'm inclined to agree, despite the fact that my job basically involves
reading e-mail all day so there's almost no chance that I could miss such
a cancellation message. It seems the best way to deal with the problem.
And after all, do we need a specific reason to get together and hang out,
other than that we all like Linux, and like to hang out in bars and share
war stories/thoughts for the day? Or is it just that the talks given at
the meetings are a way to justify this type of behavior to our
friends/spouses/loved ones?
