Whenever I hear the term 'geek', I think back to '68 and wonder if they ever found that kid who's underwear we pulled up over his head and stuffed in his locker. ;) Just kidding... People need to be held accountable for the things they do and say. This includes writers and their editors. While I have not read the piece, that portion which Joe posted, attempts to publicly de-legitimize SLAS while painting this fine organization and it's members as a bunch of losers who cannot stay in one spot long enough to grow roots. As a geek board member of this 'loser organization', I think some sort of response is called for. A public appology followed by a swift *%&$@#% should be sufficient... Quoting ziggy943@xmission.com:
Does this require a response?
Joe? Jo? Guy? et al...
An apology perhaps?

(Disclaimer, I don't know anyone at the Trib, and certainly not Rolly, though I enjoy his columns.)
You guys must have a 40 year old definition of the word "geeks". Now "geeks" means the smart ones, capable of dealing with new technology, first in line to hear about new developments, the "go-to" guys when you need to know what is really happening in science....
Okay, maybe only some of us are geeks....
