If things are equal with PMS, then just consider what great leaders women would make *after* menopause. If things are equal without taking PMS into consideration, think what lousy leaders women would make *before* menopause. Which is it? Or should PMS not be an issue and, if this is the case, why? BTW, I'm still waiting for anyone to come up with any credible (sp?) evidence regarding these supposed male cycles we keep hearing about. Or is that a non-issue? Honest questions, waiting for honest answers....... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ross M.
