| (...) This is an interesting topic--I've also been talking about the hobby with a lot of non-AFOLs over the last few months. And the short answer is, yeah, it's nerdy, much as any hobby that is predominantly male is considered nerdy. But that's the (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)
