Of course, but I should've been more clear. If someone thinks one of my interests is

They don't have to *share* that interest, of course, but they're not going to
think it's "weird" and still get so much as the time of day from me.
Hmm. I view the word "weird" in a positive light. I think your interests (which
obviously overlap with my interests since we're both here) are weird, but I consider
that to be a compliment. Weirdness is something I value, and a consider weirdness to be
independent of whether I'm interested in something. Playing with silly obsolete
computers is weird to me, and I love it. Collecting little porcelain dolls is also weird
to me, but something that I don't personally find interesting. I consider the lack of
weirdness to be kind of boring, in any case.
