Re: [SWCollect] Ok....melt wizard...
I actually did that a long time ago :-) However, there were only two levels of nerdiness. Level 1 is the self-aware nerd. This is a person who realizes he/she is a nerd, and can control themselves in non-nerd environments. AKA: Closet Nerd or socially acceptable nerd. Level 2 is the unaware nerd. See Revenge of the Nerds for many fictional examples. These are scary individuals in social situations, particularly those involving the opposite sex. AKA: Dork, Dweeb, Geek, Goober. Unfortunately I never came up with a clever acronym for the scale so I quickly lost interest :-) Hugh -Original Message- From: Marco Thorek [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mar 9, 2004 5:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SWCollect] Okmelt wizard...
