Speaking as a college educated computer worker who posts here, I suspect that you might not have a clue. I spent a lot of last summer welding heavy metal, I am no stranger to hard-hats, safety boots and building sites. I have worked assembly, labour and construction, alongside code, graphics and networks. I get bored of desks quite regularly and have to go off and lift heavy things for a while. Is a bit like going to a gym where they pay you.

Be very careful of stereotypes, especially among groups that are well known for idiosyncrasies, which at the last count is pretty much all the groups.




Did you really think you needed to point out that I might be making a sweeping generalization about tens of thousands of users? I'm glad you decided to share.


Well, from the way you stated your first post, I thought it might be worth reminding you, yes.
