However, over time geek came to mean 'techie' and is also no longer derogatory. Many people in the IT industry refer to themselves as geeks.
Do you think, though, that it is OK to refer to someone else as a geek? Or is it just OK for them to refer to themselves as geeks?

A lot of that is probably wrapped up in the delivery.
