I think in all fairness when Geek code is mentioned in many sigs the URL
or 'Geek Code' is not mentioned.  Geek Block in google turns up
something totally unrelated: http://www.sjgames.com/chezgeek/cg3.html

I do however take your point that there are some who use the list in
place of thinking, or to do their homework on their behalf etc. etc.  I
believe I may have even been caught once or twice on the wrong side ;-)
