Haha.. They should make a southpark episode about this..  Seriously, put the
guns away guys.  Ivor, I took your comment as it was intended.  To those
hurling rebukes, get off your high horses and consider the context of this
conversation for just a moment.  It is a sad fact that this is a
predominately male industry, but seriously, you can't pin that on some geeks
wanting to show their geeky girlfriends their geeky ways.

My apologies.

The notion of my comment "Have you guys reaped any benefits? :p" being
seriously interpreted as a power-hungry "could I maybe unlock some hidden
power here" type phrase had not even occurred to me. I made a comment which
amongst my friends would have been interpreted as a cute retorical foray
into "stereotypical geek role-playing".

I recognise that the comment should have stayed within my close group of
friends where the potential damage could be contained and handled.

Regards
Ivor
