Eric Roskos Probably because you (like many of us), read a book, put it away and just forget about it for 7 years. {GRIN} Seriously, Folks... I'd say that part of the answer may be tied up with the well-known talents of (many) women to see more deeply into the motivations and emotions of others. I think as we men become more tuned into those things that have always been referred to as "women's intuition", we will see these statistics changing. I'd be interested in seeing more recent figures, as a matter of fact, since a LOT has happened to the traditional roles and mores in the past seven years. -- Gary Benson * John Fluke Mfg.
