Over here we had a very long - twelve months - discussion about this 
kind of thing.  We came down to the fact that a crowd of people who 
want to help each other is formal enough.  Anything more than that 
and we thought that due to the way things run over here we would have 
a lot of problems.

I don't want to go on about legal affairs.  Most IT people that I've 
met just about spit in my face if I do.

Apologies for shoving my nose into someone else's business :)
