[conspire] Housekeeping, again

[K Sandoval]

You know this thread got me thinking.

When a geek needs data (or information) on a particular MO or a piece of
hardware, or some piece of software.... Well what does he do?
I know what I would do.  I would do research, find various sources of
information to supplement whatever data I am missing or to help clear up any
misunderstandings I might have.  Then move on from there.

So if a geek is lacking data in regards to the etiquette department why not
go pick up a book or do some research?
Is this some kind of difference in values? or just an overall lack of
awareness that there is a gap in knowledge?
And once someone points out this lack of knowledge, then what is stopping
the so-called "geek" from going ahead and attempting to troubleshoot this
problem just like any other problem?

If a geek needed to know a certain programming language or a shell to assist
him in his work or to better do certain task, then he would hopefully fill
that knowledge gap.  So why not fill the etiquette gap too?

In conclusion: I 'googled"  Book of Etiquette and I found a free online book
on Etiquette.
http://manybooks.net/titles/eichlerletext04betiq10.html

This book has 123 pages online.

So I know there are resources out there on line to be found.

p.s.  I refuse to accept that this is simply a "man" thing or a "geek"
thing. .
