Are others interested in a C++ meeting in the Saint
Paul, Minnesota area? My thought is to start with
a quarterly meeting.

We'll have to have some protocols to our meetings
like asking people if they have any symptoms of the
Wuhan virus and checking temperatures. I'm happy
to report that I don't have any symptoms at this
time and hope to keep it that way.

Why would you post about a meeting in a small town in the middle of
nowhere, to an international newsgroup with people from all over the
world? Put an advert in the window of your local shop.

This is pathetic, even by David Brown standards.

If you don't like it, ignore it. Or get out your Atlas and find out that
Saint Paul is anything but a small town in the middle of nowhere.

Anyway, what I found funny about the post is that most of the text (by word
count) was about the silly blah, blah, blah virus scare. Sign of the times...

If you are serious about this than please start a new group at this link:

<https://www.meetup.com/>

There's a link on top right corner at the above page to start a new
group for serious people looking for like minded people. You have to be
careful that you might get about 100 people at any one time but they
will all confirm before joing you so you can plan accordingly. After
the meeting, people normally go for drinks at their own costs, of
course. Yu only pay for the venue or organize with corporations such
as Google, Microsoft, Adobe or some other IT corporations. These people
are generally quite happy to finance events as long as their logo is
prominently displayed at the event.

I suspect you were just trolling to post your usual crap about
coronavirus. If this is true then you can safely ignore this post but
others might be interested to know what's available.

There are some good alternatives to that:

G-d willing, we'll be able to do that again soon, but
the restaurants and bars in this area are closed for
"dining in".

One is starting to think that you work for duckduckgo as you seem to spam about it *A LOT*.

BTW, that is not a cue for you to tell us how good you think duckduckgo is; most of us are quite happy with Google because, basically, Google won.

It's an option for when your favorite search engine goes down
if nothing else.

"Wuham virus"? :-O the virus has a name. Maybe, using your bias, we
should use "the state where police kill non-white people" instead of
Minnesota, or even better... Killersota... (yes, I have plenty of
biased/stupid "names")

It's like the Spanish flu.

"Killersota" isn't completely wrong. Minneapolis
has had more homicides this year than all of last year.
Thankfully, St. Paul isn't as violent/dangerous.

So far there's not much interest in this and I'm
thinking about joining Ben Shapiro and Dailywire in
Nashville:

Haven't decided though so am posting again.

He's a conservative journalist. He's a modern-day

Over the years some have tried to make me feel
uncomfortable here. I've posted several times
about feeling like Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer,
but the G-d of all comfort has helped me persevere.

So I'm posting for an ode review. What do you
suggest I change:
https://github.com/Ebenezer-group/onwards

And I'm looking for some users of my software:
https://webEbenezer.net/about.html
. Thanks in advance.

People don't want you to feel uncomfortable about making posts about C++
here. But a lot of us /do/ want you do feel uncomfortable about posting
spam, posting religious messages, posting bigotry, or posting
self-pitying martyrdom or narcissism as you have done so often in the
past. Stick to technical posts about C++, and you'll be quite
comfortable and welcome here.
