begin Rick Moen Lives Three Hours from Nowhere quotation:

Or, to quote http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/essays/newlug.html :
> 11. Design your Web page to be forgiving of deferred maintenance.

> Much as we'd like our LUGs' "upcoming events" and other
> time-sensitive information to be always current, it isn't going to
> happen: Sometimes, you don't re-check and update them for a week or
> two. Therefore, always list several months' upcoming events. (You
> know when they'll be because you have a meeting-date formula,
> right?) That way, when you're unavailable for Web-page maintenance
> for two months running, the Web page will still include current
> meeting information.
