Since I have crossed the street upon occasion in such situations, I can assure my fellow men that it's neither difficult nor especially inconvenient. Remember, we're talking about a relatively deserted street late at night. It's not as if you'd be spending all your time criss-crossing while steady streams of women marched down alternate sides of the street. If the street were that crowded, the problem wouldn't arise. C'mon guys. Take this thing seriously and stop nit-picking about your "rights". -- Richard Mateosian {allegra,cbosgd,decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!srm nsc!srm@decwrl.ARPA
