I'd say that some places actually *do* have more "power" than others. However, it kinda takes a seer to see the power. So the vast majority of people who feel protective and proprietary about such places are -- again -- just doing what they were told by their predecessors. They're just following a tradition they don't really under- stand or, truth be told, really believe in. ------------------------ Yahoo!
