Greenberg @ Time Inc, New York Ross, once again you have managed to miss the point, and responded abusively. She did *not* say that some men experience PMS. She said that your criteria for deciding whether a woman has PMS would, if applied to a lot of men, show that they had PMS too. It was a reductio ad absurdum argument, and you completely missed it. Also, she never said that there's no such thing as PMS. You have a habit of consistently misinterpreting other's arguments, and then abusing them for positions which *you* attribute to them. This is getting really annoying. Why don't you give it up, Ross? You're proving yourself to be a real twit. -- Jeff Lichtman at rtech (Relational Technology, Inc.) aka Swazoo Koolak {amdahl, sun}!rtech!jeff {ucbvax, decvax}!mtxinu!rtech!jeff
