   I got that feeling from people posting in alt.religion.jehovahs-witn   
   back in the day, although back then I'd been half a decade out of   
   a different fundamentalism, and thus somewhat wondered how much of   
   what I was reading was "sour grapes" rooted in "copping out".   
      
   Fundamentalists can be quite the callous breed....

   Thanks!   
      
   I doubt it, though. I suspect I seemed more than a little creepy   
   back then, what with my kind of trampling boundaries in the form   
   of our both being married to others.   
      
   But did I tell you about the fingers and voice?
