TFM... still

To cut a long debate short, there was a comment saying that ProgSoc
shouldn't give out SoCS information, on the grounds that SoCS should be
educating their students.

At least, I think that was an argument.

Umm... what about (and this could be revolutionary) ProgSoc members who
are NOT SoCS students?

If it wasn't for TFM my knowledge of, say, vi, would consist of possibly
knowing how to maybe edit bits of it by using things like arrow keys...
maybe!

Though word-of-mouth and stuff, if ProgSoc is helping its members know
more about things, like their Uni accounts (not just the [in some cases]
non-existant SoCS acocunts - and I know that's ITD's job) and simple
programming and most other computer-related stuff... even if people know
that there's a place they can mail to with questions that may sound
dumb... the membership will grow.

I thought that would be a good thing.
