Mine are. the problem is that people assume that you are callous. I am very uncomfortable with people i have to be diplomatic about - mostly they seem to want me to take responsibility for their own shortcomings. I play the 'say nice doggy until I can get a rock' strategy. This is not fun to do all the time, so it is a lousy strategy for someone you care about. laura creighton utcsstat!laura
