- Actually you bring up a point Jon - Are we 1 chapter, or geographically
- many chapters, (not to dilute the numbers). Here in NE, we have called
- ourselves the 'nedod' (a subset of the DoD) by virtue of a so-named mail
- alias and account. There is also an 'madod' subset of the nedod etc.
- I would imagine that local area DoD'rs wherever they are have done the same.
- Let's not get organized about this ...
-
- ... so take that silly Sons of Silence!
-
- They'd probably beat the shit out of us in a fight -
- But we could bring their computer systems' to their knees!
