- other scientists and "brainy" people (Doctors, medical or otherwise and the like)
- Linux users
- males with beards

Been all of those at some time in my life. Still am some of them.

Some more: Sandals wearers? Vegetarians and other ethical consumers? People without a TV?

I think there is a very high set intersection in all these categories; with some clearly fitting
into more than one set 😉

Indeedie, seems likely.

OK. So have you got an amber monitor or a green one then? :-)

No - well, I am customer-facing, but not in that sense. I do systems design and analysis, and
application design. And stuff. Lots of "stuff" :-)

That's me too

That would be me :-)

Nah - thick as two short planks. IQ not much over 150, as last measured.

Real ale drinkers?

Same thing, surely?

Objection, your honour!

Despite a liking for "proper" beer, I'm definitely not bearded (but will admit to having skipped a
shave this morning). Will readily own up, though, to (a) being a cyclist and (b) being engaged in
academic research as per the list in the very first post. Not a Dr. yet, though, but hope (fingers
crossed) to remedy that by this autumn!
