[SOC] In True SOC Style

[Kevin Rock]

This guy is obviously too deep for the group.  We could run him out of town on a rail but Mr. Lincoln said, "If it weren't for the honor of the thing I'd just as soon walk."  We have a conundrum.  Is philosophy allowed in SOC or should we limit our thinking to more mundane matters?  Such as figuring out how many dits in the optimal 'B'.  Somewhere between two and six as far as I can tell.
