I wouldn't mind being called "m'lady" once in a while. "Your Majesty" might be even more fun! (Seriously, Rance's article about ladies and gentlemen being people with class, people who are sensitive to others, is very good. It used to be said that people with those characteristics were "well-born" or "of gentle birth", or "quality". I cannot agree with the old concept that it was strictly related to the family you were born into; I think we all have the potential to be kind, caring, and considerate, people of integrity and honor and worth.) aMAZon @ AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL; ihnp4!ihuxf!features *open to possibilities* -- aMAZon @ AT&T Bell Labs, Naperville, IL; ihnp4!ihuxf!features *open to possibilities* Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
