Top 10 Geeky Lists That Should Never Be Written

Every now and then, I get the urge to write a list of ten things. It’s a primary symptom of Bloggers’ Disease, which is also characterized by an exaggerated sense of self-importance and an obsession with finding out who’s linking to you. There are so many lists of ten things now that you might think that everything that can be listed has been. Tweaking an idea suggested to me by Phil Scarr (thanks, Phil!), I thought I’d come up with a list of geeky "Top 10" lists that nobody, anywhere, should ever write. Let me know in a comment if you think of any more.
