Re: Dear Shy
	Since when does an ability to mix readily at parties make one
neurotic?  Shyness is a problem, and while it may be true that shy people
lack certain other problems by default (i.e. pushiness, promiscuity,
and the other items that were listed) that doesn't mean that shyness is
a virtue or that shyness isn't a problem.  Being shy is rough, and often
*very* limiting in so many ways.  There are *so* many neat things to do,
to see, and shy people so often miss them.  Also, as far as traits to
exploit go, shyness is extremely exploitable, it has been my experience
that shyness is generally a result of a less than great self image, and
that gets exploited every time I buy cologne/beer/toothpaste etc. etc.
