They work so well I've had 7 of them in the last year! :-) Well, that remark may have a :-) after it, but I meant it. It's all in what you mean by "work". The relationships may not have *lasted* very long, but I derived a lot from them. One of them (now (in)famous on the net! :-) only lasted a weekend, in terms of us actually being together, but since we are still close friends and both thought the experience was wonderful, I'd say it "worked", although it didn't turn into a "traditional" romantic- type relationship. My advice to people is: experience the relationship for what it *is*, and don't make judgments about it that come from beliefs you have about the way a relationship *should* be. That's a good way to make yourself unhappy. --Greg -- {ucbvax!hplabs | allegra!nbires | decvax!noao | harpo!seismo | ihnp4!noao} !hao!woods "...sometimes the light's all shining on me; other times I can barely see..."
