Molly, I realize that you wanted to stop the bickering but I do not think that you did it the right way. First as a moderator of this group, I think you should have answered Gabbi`s gaberish comment by reminding her to stay on the topic. Second, you yourself took the discussion right off course. Third, you should address your comments or questions to the entire group, and not just to one person. I commend Neil for not biting your bait. Perhaps the problem is that you enjoy the bickering as you once posted a few months ago. As far as this topic is concerned about "beauty" in the eyes of the beholder (and now suddenly "fame" in the eyes of beholders) I think that beauty has something to do with love. People that I love radiate a kind of physical beauty that they did not radiate before I grew to love them. As far as fame goes, I think it has to do with marketing. Its not what you know that matters, but who you know.
