Sorry about that. I got caught up in my impassioned sermon. Plenty of socially graceful non-nerd people choose not to raise a family. And not everyone who raises a family is exempt from the epithet of socially inept. (Those who know me personally will certainly agree. ;-) However, most professionals do seek job satisfaction combined with a normal social life. This response was an apology for painting with too broad a brush. It is of a non-technical nature and originated with a non-technical issue which I felt could not pass unanswered.
