- Er, um. I trust this is a reaction to the idea of *yourself* as a
- redhead, and not a comment on redheads generally. (If it's the latter,

- I must say that my immediate reaction to John's suggestion of you as a
- redhead was to be appalled, perhaps on the theory that any change is
- unlikely to be an improvement. :-)

- Know what you mean... I entered such a period in 1970 -- somehow I
- never got out of it.

- I think this is actually fairly common among dark-haired men. My
- brother (dark brown hair, what there is of it) grew a beard about 10
- years ago, and it had a *lot* of red in it. I think I've known of
- other such cases, although I can't bring any to mind at the moment.
