No need to shout...

It's a code that describes how geeky you are, plain and simple. Check out
(I hope this URL is still working)
http://krypton.mankato.msus.edu/~hayden/Welcome.html and browse abit until
you hit the Geek Zone.

Oh, and could you trim the parts of messages you're not replying to? All
your posts I've seen included the whole message, which is somewhat
unnecessary and bandwidth-wasting (this is friendly warning -- I've no
doubt Spike will put it in stronger terms if you keep it up).

Are you sure that address'll work, what with the spaces and all...?
