We have some very insightful people on this list! Laura Lee, I believe your idea makes a lot of sense. (It would also explain why Andy was in no hurry to marry Helen; why he needed to make sure the relationship was firmly established before taking that step.) Who knows if the writers ever thought along this line, but I like it! You and Kim are sure psychologically tuned in to the TAGS characters. And you're deep -- really deep!
