    I couldn't believe what I was reading. In the 'Disadvantages' thread below, someone actually recommended hiding the nerd within. To this I say, Nay! Never! Nein! Nyet! In no manner will I hide my Nerdish Leanings! Nerds of the world unite! Flaunt your pocket protectors. Throw away those contact lenses and pull those coke bottle glasses out from the bottom draw! Don't hide your inner nerd. Bring him forth for the world to see. Talk loudly in bars about how you overclocked your CPU by and extra 1.723 percent! Come out of the closet, even though you might have your T1 connection there, and your multi-monitor quad 2Ghz Pentium with 4G of RDRam, and a 2.1 Terabyte mirrored raid array. Use an extension cord so that the world can see the glow of your monitors. I say, show the world our power and prestige. Show the world that we are many. Remind the world that we run their computers, program their games, put their communications satellites in orbit so that they can watch major sports events live from Guatemala! March forth and take your rightful place in the world! Cheers The universe is driven by the complex interaction between three ingredients: matter, energy, and enlightened self-interest.

            Yes, It would be nice to see more nerds and other people, giving up the pretense of being what they are not. I think the stress of being what you are not would be intolerable. Regardz Colin J Davies

            You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.

                  Amen! If somebody calls me a nerd, I simply ask them to define it. They usually can't, and I always win the argument. "I enjoy working with computers, explain to me what is bad enough about that to justify you trying to insult me like that?". They can make a few smart, pathetic comments, but they know deep down that they are wrong. It's such a pity that the youth of today are so busy living up to other people's ideals ("cool") that they forget to be themselves even when at home with their family.
