- It's not that big a leap--I'd say there was a general trend for people
- who don't like backrubs to be less likely to be very physically
- affectionate (and, as said before, this is affectionate as opposed to
- sexual) than people who do like backrubs. Certainly we're not talking
- about a 100% correlation, but neither is it so negligible a correlation
- for Francois' remark to be entirely from out in left field.
