Usually, the question is almost rhetorical, since she has more at stake than I do, but not always. Once, my ladyfriend was, ah, distracted, which almost lead to a "But I thought YOU . . " sort of situation. She really appreciated the question. On the positive side, asking about birth control can never be taken as "bad manners," because asking shows that I care. Whatever the answer, the response is always positive. Bob Rogers Hewlett-Packard Design Aids
