Dear netlanders,

Permit to herald my first posting thus unto this media of
information networks.

1) I have read with great interest ( initially at least ) the
"beach incident" which we all know very well.. I believe we
have reached the top of the S learning curve and further
rhetoric about the topic would be insufferable.

2) I read with great interest about the stupid programmers
university students are and about other examples of their
stupidity and immaturity. I shall refrain from commenting  about
this as I am one of them, but it appears we cannot fool
everybody all of the time. 
However, this topic has also been belaboured by now and
I doubt further sticks and stones would improve matters.

Is'nt it time we moved to better topics; so that I can
vicariously feed on the info as before.(?).

This net is read by a large number of netlanders who are
not Americans or who are still puzzled by its mannerisms.
I would love an enlightening discussion on the following
topic.
_____________________________________________________

Question: Considering the high rate of divorce at present
compared to the rest of the world, is it true that Americans
expect more from marriage than before or less ? Does
high technology and economic security detract from family
ties ? Or has the onset of emotional maturity been hastened
in most cases,in that, what was once romance is dead.?

Possible answers: Yes and No, but I am sure we are interested
in the ones which are in betwixt of these.

Looking forward to some entertaining dialogue on these
values, their development and attrition. 

Thank you.
