Actually, I'm quite sure that similar boosterism is going on in some
of the other communities.  The Linux and FreeBSD communities in our area,
for instance, go to the Computer Swap Meets on a regular basis, doing
"Install-a-thons" to show the PC buyers how to install the respective OS's.

I also think that many MacPerl boosters will mention the other OS's they
use Perl on (I listed a couple, myself!).  The main thing, really, is to
participate in activities that promote things that you like and support.
