I'm afraid that I find the word "geek" to be highly derogatory.  It's
the kind of thing that might be associated with the sort of people who
would call a black person a "wog" or "kieffer".  This is England and
not America.  We don't refer to people no matter what colour they are
as "geeks".  The ones that I've seen are homosexuals with long
criminal records.  Since people of that sort like to use those sort of
words then perhaps it might be more appropriate somewhere else.

Thanks
