I have no way of knowing but I wonder how the 'new' seemingly reverse-approach is working? The unfortunate part of the old policy was it didn't take into account that fellows can have the same insecurities as gals can.Roberta Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032348890093502999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-13981549553018831282007-05-05T19:21:00.000-06:002007-05-05T19:21:00.000-06:00I read this through and then went right back and r...I read this through and then went right back and read it through again.

I'm glad, surprised, pleased as punch you enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>It is also surprising that the interpretation I extracted from my upbringing was not only unique to me. I was not so twisted.
