What I've noticed about relationships where one person kick's the other person's teeth in is that usually the blame is somewhat shared. The one person who gets kicked has been giving little kicks all along, but nothing as colourful as THE FINAL KICK, so of course it is the final one which gets noticed, and the final kicker is construed to be awho has "done it" to the other. So it just is simply a matter of different fighting styles. (Speaking from personal experience of course.) Busily knockin'em out.... Sophie Quigley ...!{clyde,ihnp4,decvax}!watmath!saquigley
