How does Katz view himself? (Score 1)

Here's my question for Jon Katz:

Do you see yourself as a geek, or as an "outsider" attempting to understand geek culture?

If the answer is the latter, that might be an insight into why so many /. readers resent his seemingly "expert" editorials about geekdom. Can a non-geek ever *really* appreciate what life is like as a geek?

Admittedly, I haven't read a lot of /. relating to Katz (either his articles or the resulting commentary), but I thought I would send this question out there anyway.
