Does mistaken identity have anything to do with being geeky? English just lacks a generic pronoun and everyone will be caught in that problem at some time or another. One of the reasons I take the easy way out and avoid those when I can. And, very unfortunately, you look the same on my text display as everyone else's text looks. However, for most of us guys that is a good thing. :-) Therefore mistaken identities are common, especially if someone is fast and furious with the keyboard. Fortunately being geeky is an in thing today. Maybe not as much today that so many .coms have crashed and the tech market is down, I am confident it will swing back up again. But so far it is still okay to walk down the street with a ThinkGeek t-shirt on loudly proclaiming to the world your technical proclivity. And it is only getting more so as technology becomes more and more a part of everyone's lives. Proud to be a geek! Bob
