i know we all want this thread to end but ... one last comment... not that obsessiveness is anything to brag about, but if you are going to push your biological theory then look at history, women have been characterized, stereotyped for there meticulous (slightly obsessive) nature. any person who has any extreme passion whether it be art music reading, writing whatever has these obsessive qualities. and i was kind of taken by surprize when the authors of 'last night...' mentioned this. (i disagree, but whatever, nothing new...) -m
