REALLY OT: "Sure, some of them are stupid, but not all are."
Isn't that statement true of all stereotypes.. Women... Geeks.. Nerds... Men... Windows Admins (who write perl scripts -- me), Etc, etc, so forth, so on? (not stupidity...) In general stereotypes are created out of frustration with a particular aspect of a class of people that someone finds disturbing. And, more or less.. Some people fit the stereotype, and others don't. :) Steven
