Hmmm, we have a fudge shop down in Bath that serves it fresh. I must go 
in and ask for some that hasn't set yet so that I can smear it over a 
friend's body... just to see how what the reaction is - of course.

Well, if you haven't come out of the closet yet, does that make you a

There was an article in the SJ Mercury News some weeks ago about 
gay Republicans. It made some good points, among them 1) To the 
Democrats, we are just another "special interest group" to be 
placated and tossed bones to. 2) While the "God Squad" have a lot
of pull, they do not speak for the majority of rank and file party
members. And 3) The "principles" of the Religous Right" are incon-
sistant with conservitive values.

Conservatism means less government interferance in my everyday
life. It means me keeping more of my money. I can waste it on
better things than Washington. It means believing in a free
market and free exchange of ideals. It means Equal rights for
all, reguardless of race, creed, color, religion, sex, or sexual
orientation. It means not penalizing folks who play by the rules
and do so quite well.

The thing that really bugs me about the "God Squad" is that such
hate filled "family values" is such an antithesis to the acual 
teachings of Christ. And it seems like a very few have picked this
up.

I think the differences for me are 
  *  I don't have fear that women will get violent towards me
  *  If I ask a woman to bug off she does - and she does so without
     suggesting that I am either (a) frigid or (b) lesbian :-) because
     I don't want to hop into bed with her.

One of the things I value most about womens space, is that I can get
glammed up as much as I want, as sexily as I want, and I know I won`t
get harassed.  OK so a few butches may swagger at me ...  but thats the
general idea anyway.

Iseult - feeling sure that this is a very politically incorrect reason
	 for liking womens space.

xv? yes -

src.doc.ic.ac.uk: /graphics/X11/contrib/xv-2.21.tar.Z

Compiles nice and easy on a sun, but I needed to fiddle with the
makefiles a bit on sg1 (Silicon Graphics 4D), which I presume will
be necessary on any sysv machine. Anything wierder may be pot luck.

src.doc's probably the best place to get UNIXy things from in the UK
(a good deal faster & more reliable than US sites [but then, the
machine's just across the room from me, so your mileage may
differ...] at least since they took archie off of puffin (the real
machine src.doc is aliased to) and stuck it on raquel ...)
US types can get it from anywhere with a selection of X clients -
wuarchive comes to mind.

Some purists would wretch in horror over the lato-grecates of
homosexual and polyamory, so the 'mis-use' of 'gender' vs 'sex' is
not ot of character. Of course one could blame the language for
being poverty stricken in regard to sex, love, and plumbing
