I ment to say explain why T&A would make something ~not~ serious SciFi. And as a nurd I would like to disagree with the socially inept bit. Yes we socialize differently, but that doesn't mean we are not getting any!!! In my experience 8) nurds get it a lot more often. Becouse we socialize differently, it seems that we don't have a lot of the sex hang-ups the general population has. No matter how private we keep that lack of hangups. But it's not just that, there is also the way we learn to socialize, like one would learn to play a piano. Having to learn to socialize as a skill means we understand the socialization we are capable of more thuroughly. And when we start to break down a system logicaly we can get good at it. Apply this skill to a party setting and voila. Processed food product maru _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
