How about you go about PROVING that!!!" ...I blushed with embarrasment upon reading the rest of the sentence. I am a geek. And proud of it. //L [edit] Fixed link, thanks goes to CM for spotting it.

        When you talk to a nerd he looks at his shoes When you talk to a geek he looks at your shoes.
