Scott is the author of that book. I am sorry to hear that you have had such a rough time. I think these times make us more understanding of others if they don't serve to kill off our finer instinsts first. We are like the tender springtime especially when we are young are limbs are so fragile and vulnerable. I guess with each increase in age I somehow feel stronger, although I grieve the loss of my vulnerability in my youth. Anyway, to explain a little more I belong to a relgious group viz, Orthodox Jews, who belive in "arranged marriages" in the sense that one is introduced or that one does not just date for nothing (without marriage in mind). I have found *NO ONE* who has been willing to make such an inroduction or even who encourages my pursuit of a mate. The argument is usually money and perhaps there is a genetic factor etc etc. I think this is where much of my bitterness is..that no one will help *me try*. Good heraring from you, Aaron -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!260!204!Aaron.Feldman Internet: Aaron.Feldman@f204.n260.z1.fidonet.org
