When you spend your evening wading through old HOWTO posts and converting any relevant ones and updating a couple from an old forum to a new forum...

Can I just say that PHPBB sizes are stupid....Over on Dennis size 24 was "Huge", here it's 200...Which made life a little harder than I would have liked!

I've had that conversation...

The easiest way to distinguish: A geek can often have social skills and a girlfriend, a nerd does not.
