Say Rob, some people are attempting to put together a Game-Master
code for a list I'm subscribed to. They were inspired by your Geek
Code. Go figure =) I'd personally ask for a portion of their proceeds.

There were at least three codes before the Geek code. The Bear code, the
Twink code, and the Smurf code. I know of at least one other.

As well as the CoSy code. However, this code is sort of particluar to
the Department of Computer Science and System Analysis as the University
of Salzberg in Austria. I have, however, snagged some of the traits that
are universal compile a version of it in English (with help from one of
the students at The Univ. of Salzberg.) If you want to see it, it is a
link off of my home page for those of you with web access. I will e-mail
copies out to any others interested.
