This is I promise my last tonight (or this morning, according to where you
are) but coming out of the upgrade from hell (seven days in the second
round alone & still glitches) it's talk therapy... First, Jack I agree
absolutely completely and ardently with your words above. Consider that
all we know of, for instance, the Egyptians, comes from their art... !

I don't get your point here, so comment only that what bothers me is the
hypocrisy, not the naked. Half of humanity has the same equipment so
what's the big deal. The pretense that this is not erotica, but just
"art" is, however, too much.
