Well, I'm *not* a member of any societies, tech related or nor--primarily because the ones I know about are a) way over my head (and would therefore be pointless to join unless I wanted to try to pass myself off as more erudite) or b) so amazingly over-priced that an "Average Joe" (like myself and a few other JAPH's) simply can't justify the cost.

I freely admit that I am not a formally trained coder...that said, ignore me at your peril--for I know how to learn things.
