The function of clothing for *most* people includes how it looks because it says so much about who we are. Many people want their clothing to enhance their appearance, and the choice of color and style is an important factor for those people. As far your suggestion for alternatives to taking the class or buying the book (for people who are interested), it makes about as much sense as installing untested code. Patty's comments about the investment value (ie less time and money spent when shopping and fewer unfortunate pur- chases which will remain unworn in the closet) are well-taken. I agree that it's getting pretty hot here in net.singles. Could we have a little more consideration for other peoples opinions? (this comment not meant just for you, Ross).
