     Oh Goody!!  A new, and worthwhile, topic to discuss!!

     I've had a very small space to work with (4) but from the few
relationships that I've had, I've found that Honesty is a means to a
more effective mode of growth, Acceptance.  I'll take you, as YOU are,
warts and all.  The honesty of BOTH parties is essential, for one will
not do any hiding from the other, and the above statement will then be
taken at face value.  All the ladies involved were my students, and I
warned them I wasn't going to play any favorites in giving grades.  they
accepted that quite well, for they realized that my honesty in giving true
grades for their performance was from the same source that told them that
I loved them.  I could say that honesty terminated the relationships, but
I'm more inclined to believe that ignorance of the things I was being honest
about was more to blame.  In fact, a bigger problem were the bolts of
inspiration I got from the relationships that made the ladies think I cared
more for computers than from them!
