And it was the woman who didn't notice. So there! :-) Of course it's possible that I've been too friggin' dense to notice legions of interested women around me :-) Shoot, I don't know. Some people don't notice some things, and it's not restricted to any gender. All I can say is that everyone ought to be ready to be unmistakably direct in case somebody doesn't notice their interest. Better that than to let something potentially wonderful fizzle away. Ken Kaufman (uiucdcs!kaufman) "Save the Texas prairie chicken!"
