- Why, hello, Rod. I hadn't realized you'd begun posting. I'd hint something
- to the group as a whole that you've just been de-muffined and hence need
- HUGS HUGS and more HUGS, but perhaps you're unprepared. Nevertheless...
-
- HUGS KISSES and other various and sundry CARESSES
-
- That's the way we welcome people here...so welcome to a world of us
- bi-people and our friends.
-
- To add something to this whole triangle discussion, I've been told by
- someone that the triangle specifically relates to AIDS when right-side up,
- and represents "taking back the language" or some such PC agenda like that
- when upside down. I don't know how much (if any) truth there is to
- this...anyone care to shed some light on this myth-or-reality?
