Why is it that when you get a group of 12 or so random geeks at a restaurant, anarchy reigns supreme?
Why is it that when you get a group of 12 or so Perl geeks at a restaurant, there's a vague semblance of order?
I've seen this pattern repeated over and over again. Surely there's a self-selecting sample involved (when I'm out with Perl geeks, I notice or want to notice a lack of anarchy). But this pattern holds true not only with the local Perl crowd (wherever I happen to call "local" at the time), or with a bunch of random Perlfolk.
