     Ah, well and softly spoken. I'm (slowly) getting less
     uncomfortable with such behaviour, but I'm still uncomfortable
     with the notion that as long as the line has moved,
     there should be *no* line drawn, hemce no line *at all*!...

     For the present I do consider myself `straight, but not narrow' :-)

     I've always thought `tolerant' a good word...but one can become
     too tolerant, I do suppose...(There's always some yin in that yang
     :-)
