Morris 'The value of difference and diversity is as infinite as is the cost of its destruction.' Re the gender question, I always feel a twinge of frustration when I come to the M/F boxes on those civic forms - what about the in-betweeners ?? I have always felt there should be an 'Other' box. To me, as well as being unimportant, gender can be as fluid as anything else we choose to label ourselves with. Reminds me of one by my friend David W.

A little bit too much like an extract from an equal opportunities statement, maybe; without the punch I remembered it having from Saturday night. Yeah - the value of uncertainty. Something that society traditionally perceives as a weakness actually being a strength. Excellent, thanks for the correction.
