JK - you've got to feel your way thru these things, man. It's hard to predict ahead of time what the right thing to do will be. Did Yogi Berra say this: "Forecasting is tough, especially when it involves predicting the future."?<P>Keep in mind your goal for every encounter in Plan A: DON'T LOVEBUST!!!!!!!<P>Also remember, no body's perfect. I've said some real dumb things - I knew it before I took the next breath. So, err on the side of zipping your lip.<P>Good Luck,<BR>WAT
