Oh plzzz,i didnt call u guys geeks in a derogatory or cruel way.Im really sorry if u find it obscure.I didnt meant it that way. I mean as far as i know what geek is one who is addicted to the computer or Internet, one who is skilled with computers.I wrote this bcoz i cud harly understand that high techno-lingo used in mailing lists and started feeling down bcoz of my dumbness. Perhaps,experts is a word which wouldnt sound obscure? Hence plz dont misunderstand me.
As somebody mentioned earlier, I don't think anyone took offence at your use of the term "geek". Don't worry about it.
