Why, no. In fact I substantively disagree with your attempt to stereotype the mindset of the group you so casually demean with the slur of "computer geek". Methinks, madam, that you know far less of the "mentality" of that group -- as if it could be so simplistically analyzed as a single modality of thought to begin with -- than you appear to believe. Certainly, you know neither Magill nor I well enough to make the judgment call on whether or not that label applies to either of us, even though we both have earned a living in that realm for years.
And, seein' as how "ol' Magill" -- another rather demeaning turn of phrase -- and I share not only a party wall but several decades of friendship, I have reasonable faith that he'll manage to find a way to let me know all on his own, without your assistance, when I need to "lighten up" on him.
On a slightly related note, perhaps you -- and many others on this list as well -- might consider taking your own tentative steps into junior geekhood by learning enough about your own email program to remove your business-related information when sending mail on a non-business purpose.

Lighten up on ol' Magill, why don'cha. It is indicative of his mentality as a computer geek to think that way, i.e., binary=either/or=whatever...Nothing wrong with that. Probably substantively you agree.
