    Is there such a thing? If not, we deserve our own. I mean if crows (a murder) and cows (a herd) and such can have one, why can't we? Some that come immediately to mind: A Frustration A Thinkin A Nerdal A Release A Nerdal of software engineers was spotted today west of the highway, officers were sent to investigate.

        Well, clearly we would be a Generic Collection. Some less hygienic members would be a Heap<T> while our politer members would obviously be a Queue<T>

            That would probably just get shorted to A Dork, so might as well accept it up front.

                  Do you have some problem with me? You sure seem to go out of your way to be negative to my posts. If so let it out. Passive aggression isn't healthy. Maybe that wasn't targeted at me but others seem to have to been.

                      I was thinking a Heap but I think a Hack of Programmers would be better.

One of the colleagues of John Nash (the mentally troubled mathematician from A Beautiful Mind) wrote a letter to someone which said something roughly like: He's as annoying as X, as egotistical as Y, for arbitrary X and Y.

                                          Do you have some problem with me? You sure seem to go out of your way to be negative to my posts. If so let it out. Passive aggression isn't healthy. Maybe that wasn't targeted at me but others seem to have to been.
