My personal thought is ... the fewer the forum "folders" the better.
and you call yourself a techy...
but, perhaps the techy is for bikes and techie is for computers
just looked up both...
techy: easily irritated or annoyed; "an incorrigibly fractious young man"
Techie is a term, derivative of the word technology, for a person who displays a great, sometimes even obsessive, interest in technology, as well as high-tech devices, particularly computers. Some techies express a disregard for any technology that could possibly be considered obsolete, even if the technology or process in question might only be considered obsolete within the techie community. Consequently, techies are also often early adopters. With the increased spending power of techies, a few media outlets exist that cater solely to them, most notably Wired, Slashdot, and, while it existed, TechTV. Geeks or nerds are often also considered to be techies; however, the reverse is not necessarily true and more people who would not be considered "geeks" are becoming techies, especially with the advancement of technology in recent years.
Another possible and less common use of the word is as a replacement of the description of a person as ignorant, especially when technology of some kind is involved. For instance, consider a person who believes that he or she knows the proper way of performing something (with technology, like creating a circuit board.) However, he or she actually does not know how to properly perform the task, but is unwilling to listen to suggestions from more knowledgeable people. This person could be considered a "techie." The tone of the word is similar to that of "geek" or "nerd."
so? techy? which is it?
