Although nothing has changed on that front, I hope we all grow up enough to move on and just to happy and honest with ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Let's be nice to other people.Damana Maddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506368430609135921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144813210603379421.post-45962979412120692212008-05-19T20:36:00.000+10:002008-05-19T20:36:00.000+10:00Hey mana,I'm a geek guy and I read chick lit, main...Hey mana,<BR/>I'm a geek guy and I read chick lit, mainly because I will read *anything* put in front of me. (I have even read the multi-lingual no-bribe posters in the RTA :-)<BR/>My feeling is that constraints are bad. I prefer recommendations to rules.<BR/><BR/>Just as an aside, do you know the origin of the "no chick-lit" rule?<BR/>Is it based on the geek girl image, or is it because in the early days there was too much chick-lit?Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414690619832854980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144813210603379421.post-51815930225945810712008-05-19T16:19:00.000+10:002008-05-19T16:19:00.000+10:00Thanks @mmwebster.

Thanks for calling me on it. (We women geeks must keep each other honest.) I know that if anyone tried to put me in a box and tell me what kind of geek I needed to be, I'd hit 'em over the head with a club. Glad you set me straight before someone took a swing at me.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685339138471215226noreply@blogger.com
