Well, of the "commodity" (ie, non-proprietary) os's available,
especially those for  mini-computers, it's the best one,
but that doesn't blind me to its faults.

On the other hand, it is LOTS better than IBM's operating systems,
and believe me, I've had far more experience with them than I really
want to admit.

This is absolutely true.  I finally dumped Grayson into the "obtuse"
bin, containing *another* group of people with whom you can't win.

Is "anal-compulsive sorting disorder" yet another bin, by the way?

This is being dredged up from an article about Tori Amos I read in the
Independent on Sunday ages ago, during her UK tour. Its what persuaded me to
buy her CD album, a decision I haven't regretted. So, I may be misremembering
things...

Anyway, she is appartantly only half white; her mother is Native American (I
forget which tribe) and her father is a white baptist minister who has since
become her manager (I find this rather surprising given some of the lyrics
which I interpret as being anti-Christian).

Umm...that's an "and" up there, not an "or."  Yes, though, my definition
*involves* having close friends of both sexes...you just seem to have
missed the part about "as well as sexual partners (of both sexes)."  The
point being that, to me, the sex of a "sex toy" does not matter, as the
attraction is then simply for sex, not for a person.  To consider myself
as attracted to both sexes, I have to want more than simply a sex
partner (although I must say that sex partners are pretty great...
*grin*).  If *all* I wanted with people of one sex was sex, then I
wouldn't feel that I wanted *people* of that sex, just sex-with-anyone- 
that-will-hold-still.

Speaking of which, why is the myth "bisexuals with have sex with
anything at moves?"  I would think that holding still would be the first
requisite...otherwise, they might escape...*grin*.

Just to clarify: I did not say that.  I said, in effect, that the
main market, and main purpose, of SF argued against it as a good
source of definitions of adulthood.

I *did* say that there are exceptions, but that I wouldn't list
H. Beam Piper among them.

I can think of a number of SF authors who have addressed the question
as well as anyone (_On Wings of Song_, by Thomas Disch is one of my
favorite coming-of-age novels, and I could name others.)  These
writings don't stay in print easily, unfortunately, since the SF
shelves of most bookstores are awash in the latest of a number of
pulp trilogies and tetralogies.  Truly adult themes get lost easily
in this genre.

I did not chuck you into a bin labeled "sf geeks".  I know, because
by some peoples lights, I'm sitting in that bin.  I just don't wolf
down whatever gets thrown in on top of me by publishers, that's all.

If I did "chuck" you into an "sf geek" bin, it would still not
be tantamount to calling you crazy.  I know lots of people who
consume all kinds of puerile, purely escapist crap with little
or no discrimination.  Some of them are my friends.  Only a few
of them are crazy.

   Well, since you know me you already know that I tend to skew the
definition of about everything.  Everything that describes a large
subset of the world will pick up a life of their own (the words man
and woman, for example, which have a very precise definition, have
this large (and, in the main, unacceptable) collection of extra
meaning which isn't used for anything other than oppression) and so
some care will have to be taken to keep that life tame.  (The whole
gay rights movement is doing a lot of good to strip negative
meanings off gay and lesbian, because as people keep seeing queer
people who don't fit the stereotypes, every now and then an
additional neuron will fire and convince someone that maybe, _just_
_maybe_, these stereotypes are a lie.)

   Prolog.  Fuzzy logic is a wonderful toy; it corrupts ones mind
in wonderful ways (unless you're like me and already corrupt...)
