The point is, and bear with me on this - Do they have the same techie type interests? If they don't, you may have a point, otherwise its a meeting of like minds. And it's only appropriate to call it "socializing" when it's a meeting of unlike minds? Gimme a break. BillW

When you put it like that, um, yes! sure we socialise (!) with other engineers - go mad if we couldn't share those jokes that only programmers understand - but socialising with engineers exclusively probably leads to inbreeding, and a lowering of intelligence outside the engineer genetic pool. <g> MikeS <RemoveMEmikesmith_ozTakeThisOuTrelaymail.net>
