Why was being discussed is meeting the person. There is a need to convice the other person you are worth the time to actually to get to be known. It's like getting a job, the resume only gets you the interview. You could also get the interview otherways. Being in a mutually enjoyable social activity will reduce the "cost" of the other person getting to know you. -------------------------- bills@microsys.com Just think no to stupdity! --------------------------
