IT trainers must be removed
More ideas about who we should bar from The Stack.
“Good pubs are pretty much deserted, apart from a few old timers who whinge about everything that has happened in the past 30 years,” says Jim Blair.
“So The Stack should bar anyone who has not programmed a mainframe in assembler.”
Perhaps we can make an exception and allow them to bring their parents along.
Graham Browning at Mayday Healthcare NHS Trust suggests: “Can I suggest that you put a sign on the door: ‘No baseball caps, no IT trainers’.” It is a possibility.
“There’s only one answer,” says Richard McLean at Highlands & Islands Enterprise, who obviously hasn’t been paying close attention, because there are dozens.
“Users,” he says. “Strictly speaking, it wouldn’t be good for trade, but there is no doubt that the beer would flow more efficiently and without interruption.”
This week we are expanding our list of banned groups. IT trainers are no longer welcome, but we are not banning non-programmers or users, because then most of the staff of Computing wouldn’t be allowed in.
Please keep suggesting social groups we can make unwelcome. We are drunk on the power.

My personal favourites for the barred list (in descending order of repulsiveness):
Lawyers
Accountants
Tax Collectors
News International Management
MS product managers
Anyone who thinks Vista is 'cool'
Idi Amin
