Siegfried, I do apologize to anyone whom I offended. I think the people in this group are as nice a bunch of people as I have ever known. But since I have a son and a husband who are geeks, I have a hard time looking at it as an insult. And it would be hard to attend a star party, or see what is happening out at SPOC, without thinking that there are some pretty good brains in the group, who definitely are up with what is happening in the world of science, and, in many cases, technology. No matter what the working or educational backgrounds in this group, they seem to be pretty smart. Jo At 12:40 PM 1/31/2005 -0700, you wrote:
Does this require a response?
Joe? Jo? Guy? et al...
An apology perhaps?

(Disclaimer, I don't know anyone at the Trib, and certainly not Rolly, though I enjoy his columns.)
You guys must have a 40 year old definition of the word "geeks". Now "geeks" means the smart ones, capable of dealing with new technology, first in line to hear about new developments, the "go-to" guys when you need to know what is really happening in science....
Okay, maybe only some of us are geeks....
Jo
