True.  I don't and Eimile doesn't.  But those behaviors are accepted as normal
there <g>.

Also true.  And I don't necessarily oppose those pursuits (I've been single a
couple of times in my life), but I do oppose those who join an organization
*strictly* to follow those pursuits and have no real interest in the
organization.

Hmmm... I could reccommend a few near downtown Houston they might find
"amusing" ...
