Who knew?

It turns out that Robert's Rules of Order were compiled from parliamentary procedure by a general who happened to be a Baptist layman. Given the stereotype about my fellow Baptists not exactly being the most orderly in our meetings, I've got to smile at the irony.

Or maybe it's appropriate. H/T Veith. Hopefully he gets his stamp soon for his contribution to general sanity in meetings.
