Sorry to pull this aside out of a barely related article, but it did strike a chord with me. Although not gay myself, I was, for a number of years and reasons too complex to go into here, involved with the lesbian community in Los Angeles and, later, in London. The time period spanned nearly 10 years from the mid 60's to mid 70's. Anyway, from my experience, there's nothing "lately" about Roger's anomaly. Though both our samples are tiny, this sort of thing has been going on probably throughout history. I've known a number of lesbians who slept with men at one time or another for various reasons. Occasionally the man in question was me. Some will insist that these women were in fact bisexual. I define them as they defined themselves. I have no idea what this means, if anything, but would like to hear comments from some of the lesbians (or gay women, if you prefer) on the net. -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ The Polymath (aka: Jerry Hollombe) Citicorp TTI Common Sense is what tells you that a ten 3100 Ocean Park Blvd. pound weight falls ten times as fast as a Santa Monica, CA 90405 one pound weight.
