Whoa!  I will admit that my phrasing was less than what I'd intended (blush),
but don't call me blind (fumble-fingered, perhaps).  Permit me to elaborate
(something I was unable to do at the time).

First, Cheryl presents the most one-sided views of her chosen topics I've
ever encountered.  Since these are the only insights we (the net) are
shown of Cheryl (can anyone believe she's *never* had a caring relationship
with a man (at least before her apparent current state of mind set in)?),
I cannot believe she is *right*.  Further, she *is* obnoxious, and that
too detracts credence from what she says.

The intent of my statement was that I will read her postings and award them
the credibility they deserve on the basis of content.  Thus far, they have
not merited an overwhelming amount of credibility (as is true of anyone's
flames).

And, a parting shot (to Beth).  I generally find humor in people's cute quotes,
but after seeing it many times in the last week or so, yours has reached in and
struck a raw nerve.  To wit, I offer the following:

Marty says, `A real man never has to ask a real lady, "Was it good for you?"'
