That's one thing where a local Linux User Group could be handy. You
could continue working on what you're doing at the computer, and someone
from the group could take care of your grilf at the same time. Just

I have a kill on anything crossposted to a groups with "advocacy" in
their names. That helps. Also, the distro-specific Linux groups
probably get less Wintrolling, I'd say.
