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.
