Jim, <br>
<br>
I agree those are among the best of Noisebridge's features! Those
are the only reasons i keep participating. <br>
<br>
Jim, it was great to have you at the Noise Hack a year ago! but I
rarely see you at nb otherwise. You don't seem to use the space
anymore. Are you still a Member?<br>

<br>
So you feel that Noisebridge is successful and just fine? I don't
know, Jim, everything's broken, stolen, or all over the floor. I
find it nearly impossible to get any actual hacking done at NB. <br>

<br>
Jim, i don't think any of those efforts were successful. The other
night i was there, there was a dude alternately sleeping and
stealing stuff, and clearly on drugs. <br>

<br>
Jim, are you saying most NB attrition is due to too many rules? Can
you give an example of that?<br>
