Funny thing. I mentioned this question to my date the other night, a gorgeous lady who, by profession, is a model for Cosmopolitan, even though she doesn't have to work, because her recently-deceased father, of whom she is the only survivor, owned a quarter of DuPont. She was very cynical, saying, yes, she thought it would be a pack of lies, but I opined that the members of this community were above such childish deceptions. However, she was sufficiently convinced that between begging me to take her home with me for the night, and doing strange and wonderful things under the table, she bet me her Maserati against my moped that the majority of other readers would agree with her. What do you folks think? |-) P.S.: This isn't intended as any kind of dig against the author of the original article. I just couldn't resist. -- Cheers, Topher Eliot Cyb Systems, Austin, TX ihnp4!ut-sally!cyb-eng!topher
