- Wont get any arguments from me -- I still believe that's a matter of
- preference and taste. I have this 'thing' for nasal accents, but that's
- just me. Some people would only hang out with MBA's -- nothing wrong
- with that. -- It's precisely the individual preferences that form the basis
- of relationships. Relationships work much better when the two people *chose*
- each other. Surely, people would dig into what these preferences
- *mean* and what is reflected from the preferences about the individual. But
- I would leave that to those who want to do that sort of analysis.

- If that attitude becomes prevalent, i guess it's easier just to
- lobby all chinese restaurants to write their menus in chinese only, on red
- paper, and glue them to the walls, and print in english menus of special
- dishes like "pork blood soup" and "kung-pow cow intestines." :) :)
