That's a great explanation!

I wonder: do a lot of CS people feel connected to writing? I never thought so, though I know music is a common connection. But most people here write fairly well, and you get a lot of eloquent posts. Is that a common trait among hackers, that they write?

I think it may depend upon the school you go to. The CS people at VT, if double-majoring, went to math (to be fair, our CS major all but gives you a math minor already). If it was a more liberal-arts school, it may have gone more towards writing.
