Hey, don't blame the messenger. I just report the news. Naturally, those who are liberal, atheist, and monogamous might find some joy in it. But the main point seems to be empirical. What is it about the reported finding, as opposed to its interpretation, which should invite challenge through critical thinking? Anyway, even-(Stephen) handedness being my middle name, I would have reported the results even had they turned against those misguided liberal-atheist-monogamists. The findings would be provocative either way. Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
