I think someone made this distinction on the Comics board: (paraphrased) A nerd reads comics; a ninny collects action figures.

Apply this formula, if you would, to others enthusiasms.

In my head a ninny always referred to someone small and insignificant. I never attributed it to players-of-make-believe-with-action-figures.

A nerd posts to ILE; a ninny posts to ILM.

Geeks read comics, nerds (like me) devoured encyclopedias in their childhood.
