from Jeff;

I don't think that a person can (in general) declare themselves abnormal.
In fact, it's possible that the very introspection that derives such thoughts
proves normality.  In Jeff's particular case it seems that his thoughts aren't
nearly as far from the *norm* as his opinion of himself.

				Just one person's thoughts,
