Hmm.  I vaguely resent the idea that something must be a love story to appeal to women.  In fact, I'm on record as resenting that Hollywood feels it necessary to insert extraneous love stories into otherwise good films....

That's what ET needs to do to be more female friendly: insert love stories into the economic threads! Why did we never think of that?

come on, that story hardly has enough doom in for one of our stories. Although having nearly ended up at one point through a strange twist of fate writing photo stories for a teenag girls pop music and romance comic, Id say we've probably got enough photos of ETers to knock an economic/romantic story for ET with the judicios application of speach bubbles.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Hmm.  Now that sounds like a worthwhile challenge.  Hmm.

Why "vaguely" resent it - have the courage of your resentments :-)  There was a smiley after that - but, then again, there is a very big market for romantic novels and I don't really think it's due to guys buying and hiding them :-)

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice. Blog - Nice Experience

Sorry for the late reply, I just noticed your response.

It's not a matter of courage, Ted, it's just not really in my nature to resent things.  But please let me know if I need to explain set theory to you, or why it's relevant to your answer.

Oh, and just for good measure, here:  ;-)  Feel better?
