- Well, I asked around a little bit this weekend on this topic, and wasn't
- able to uncover a single opinion like the ones I'm hearing in this group.
- Most people I talked to -- male and female -- expressed some degree of
- amazement, confirming my theory that this is a cross-planetary discussion.
- Either that, or it's a generation gap (the people I talked with were all
- in their late 20s, early 30s; I suspect some of the folks who've responded
- to this thread are a bit younger and possibly still in school).
-
- At any rate, it's been enlightening. The main point I've gotten out of it
- is that Keith, Greg and Ray should hook up with Pooh and Teri. Me, I'm
- happy with my anachronistic old Martian of a sweetie.
