I am collecting sayings concerning classification, in particular,
phrases addressing the question "How many types/kinds/classes of
people are there?"  For example:

    There are two kinds of people, those who split people into 
    two kinds, and those who don't.     -Author Unknown (?)

If you have any such sayings you'd like to share with me, I'd really
appreciate your contribution.  In return I'll send you a compilation
of responses when I'm done (wow!).  Please mail me the phrase, along
with the name of the person to whom it's attributed (if known), and
when/where said (if known).  Thanks a bunch!
-E.

[In response to a request for "there are X kinds of people" sayings:]

There are two kinds of people: those who set followup-to lines responsibly,
and those who don't.

Dare I ask why this has been sent to soc.men but not soc.women?

Here's my favorite...

There are three types of people in this world,  those who make things happen,
those who watch things happen, and those that have no idea whatsoever what 
happened.

enjoy...

There are two kinds of people in rec.humor: those who make requests for others
to post something funny, and those who do the actual posting.

(I don't mean to imply that every non-request is funny, but hey, at least it's
an effort!)

There are an infinite number of types of suck-weasels.

You are a bounded but infinite set of those types.

Yes, you personally.

Why thank you knd sir for your astute opinion. I'm sure that everyone
was just dying to know your feelings on what sexual practices you do and
don't care for. Get a life!

No Owen, my uni-eyebrowed friend, I am afraid you are WRONG!

There are two kinds of people: those who set followup-to lines responsibly,
ant those who have no clue.

You are part of the latter group.

 There are two kinds of fools:
 - one says, "This is old and therefore good."
 - the other says, "This is new and therefore better."

 Ponder it. Makes much sense.

 Here is another Example for you , I don't know if anyone else wrote it but as I was reading 
your article it came to me. A memory or what I don`t know But I think it can be attributed to me .        
  The when & where can be seen above Here's the phrase:-

       There are two kinds of people,Those who have and those who want,
        Those who have will never want 
        And those who want will never have.

Your witticism really has staying power, because I first heard that
about 30 years ago--have you come up with anything since then?
