"So far, this new forum appears to be designed by geeks for geeks."

Now lets see. Geek = n : a person with an unusual or odd personality [syn: eccentric, eccentric person, oddball]

Definition:  bizarre person
Synonyms: beatnik, case, character, coot, crackpot, creep, customer, fly ball, freak, fruitcake, geek, gonzo, goof ball, heretic, hippie, kook, loner, looney tunes, maverick, nonconformist, nut, nutcake, odd person, oddball, oddity, original, queer duck, rare bird, screwball, three-dollar bill, weirdo, whacko, wombat, zombie
Antonyms:  bore, conformer, conformist, conventionalist, traditionalist

Some how it occurs to me:
a) that a person who stayed with five plus year old software is the "geek". given Webster's definition. :-)

b) that an earlier post here by David M recommended NOT falling behind.

c) that to view the "new website" does not require membership

d) that there are significantly more Viewers than contributing Members.

e) that the service is provided FREE: ie the website membership & participation, ie the website's information posted freely by the members, and ie the viewing of the information. Granny always said not to bite the hand that feeds you - particularly when it is FREE. She also said something about sugar vs vinegar, but the exact words escape at this time. :-)

f) that the old 1960's Methods/Systems Adage of "Don't disturb me out of my rut, I might have to think." is very appropriate. :-)

btw The receipt of your confirming registration email may take longer than instantly and is greatly dependant upon the traffic and response time of your ISP - since it is being sent to YOUR email - conveniently and for FREE. Mine took about 23 minutes given it went through Apple's dotMac server.

g) that patience is a virtue. :-)

Have fun. :-D
