Me, too!Me, too!!

First, a music geek, then a computer geek, a sci-fi book geek, a
Byzantine geek, and now, a fiber geek.

It's all about the level of obsession and inability to hold a
conversation of 5 minutes or more without babbling about the current
subject du jour.

When someone accuses me of being a "geek", I draw myself up to my full
height and proudly proclaim, "Yes, I am!"
