Juitt) Distribution: net Organization: The MITRE Corporation, Bedford, MA Lines: 19 Summary: [ I don't even know if this deserves a reply but here goes......] I would probably label myself far from old-fashioned, but I still think that in many situations, the female should initiate the act. ( :-) ) For example, just the other day I met my girlfriend's (excuse me, my SO's) aunt for the first time. I don't think I'd feel comforable reaching out and saying, "Hihowareya, nice to meetcha" to a distant relative. -Dave Juitt ----- ----- UUCP: ..linus!security!dnj ARPA: dnj@mitre-bedford He missed the tag, he missed the tag...
