I'm guessing you're still trying to rationalize your computer time to your wife. There's nothing innately unsocial about programmers. It's simply a matter of time practicing the art of conversation. If you're mated to your chair and don't get out to talk with others, then yes you'll have a problem socially.

Well, that depends on who the visitor is and who is sending the email. BW

I think coders generally have weak interpersonal skills, especially compared to developers.

A coder could be replaced by a trained monkey and, other than for a profusion of banana skins in the vicinity of the PC, no one would notice. A developer can solve real problems.

That wasn't his question. And, most of them are VERY weak with interpersonal skills. Jeremy Falcon

The visitor is from personnel and the email is from Nigeria.

I just wanted to say thank you anonymous one-voter for taking 2 seconds out of your busy schedule to down vote me and standing up for what you believe in like a coward, without even really standing up at all. Talk about irony. I say developers don't have interpersonal skills, you don't even reply with commentary. Thus, proving my damn point. So, here's to you one-voter! Jeremy Falcon

Looks like that's a stereotype. I think most computer nerds have social issues, and revenge of the nerds wasn't anything near a documentary. I mean, really, how do you expect to really interact with people sitting in front a computer all day? Jeremy Falcon

Who says all IT guys sit in front of a computer 24/7? Some people actually compute at work and play at home. In the past, when computers were not so widespread, I would have agreed with your opinion: but in this day and age all manner of people use computers both at home and at work. Steve PS: The revenge of the nerds comment was not a stereotype but rather a joke.
