The RA or No Way Gang isn't all cut from the same roll of toilet paper. There are several distinct groupings.
- There are those like Bear, TCNixon and George Brown that make or have made their money providing DL advice to the public.
- There are bored, middle-aged academics with Walter Mitty-esque delusions of grandeur like George Gollin.
- There are the social misfits like Bill Huffman, Russ Blahetka, Abner, etc. who just need some type of morally superior group that they can claim to be a member of.
- There are those who don't want to think independently but would rather just follow the pro-establishment line. Many of these types tend to come and go frequently.
- There are the handful of thinkers (e.g. Dayson, Foerster, Andy Borchers, etc.) who, while generally adhering to the company line, will sometimes look at the bigger picture.
- Finally there are the opportunists like Gus Sainz and Chip White. Gus hasn't been around much the last few years but let's not forget how instrumental he was in polarizing the accreditation issue in various fora and stifling any free and open discussions.
