You know this thread got me thinking.<br><br>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? <br>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. <br>
<br>So if a geek is lacking data in regards to the etiquette department why not go pick up a book or do some research? <br>Is this some kind of difference in values? or just an overall lack of awareness that there is a gap in knowledge?<br>
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? <br><br>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? <br>
<br>In conclusion: <font size="2">I 'googled" </font><font size="2">Book of Etiquette and I found a free online book on Etiquette.<br><a href="http://manybooks.net/titles/eichlerletext04betiq10.html">http://manybooks.net/titles/eichlerletext04betiq10.html</a><br>
<br>This book has 123 pages online. <br><br>So I know there are resources out there on line to be found.<br><br>-Ms.Kai<br><br><br>p.s. I refuse to accept that this is simply a "man" thing or a "geek" thing. .<br>
