Sorry, if it wasn't clear...I meant only to celebrate Bill's and Stephen's joy and excitement over sharing their arcane knowledge--certainly not to mock it!
My sixteen-year-old daughter's favorite quotation:
Quote:
"...nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff...Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they're saying is 'you like stuff.' Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, 'you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness.'"
--John Green

So Janice, if you have something you want to say about Egil, please feel safe to share it. Anyone too geekery-impaired to appreciate it has surely bailed out of the thread by now.
