SPUG: rejecting PERL applicants?

[Jeff Almeida]

Unless you're already IN Issaquah, is it even physically possible to get
there before 6 on a Friday night, ever? :D

And yes, I'm eager to see a Dancer talk -- but I'll be in Arkansas on the
19th, assuming that's the meeting date. >.<

And the analogy was imperfect, yes... unless you regard them as
similarly-subtle distinctions in general. ;)
