Thank you (again) for your replies, though in Fox's case that 'thank you' seems to represent some sort of dismissal.

Speaking of which, if you have not already read the thoughts of "abient" on this very same topic please do (or, is that politeness yet one more act of dismissal? Is rudeness better?).

Fox continues to his patronizing lecture on different types and body shapes of people on this planet, something that I consistentlyagree to, and also his aversion to 'munches'.

Well, the latter seemed to be a sort of entry into the BDSM lifestyle scene. On further reflection, perhaps it is not. But don't I get at least an "E" for effort?

Anyway, before assuming the professorial role of lecturer, one should really first understand the subject and the audience...
