http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=geeker

- Please topquote snippets from the threads about which you are commenting.

- Please set your newsreader to prepend "Re: " or somesuch when replying 
to a toplevel post.

- Please don't preach about "meta-talk and policing" in a post which is 
mostly meta-talk and preaching.

Thanks,
Daniel
