Roger, when I say that I'm constantly falling in love with the other Mudcatters, it is not a romantic love that I am referring to. In fact, I think that the lack of a romantic or seductive element in here is a factor that frees me to be more open and more at ease as the person I really am, without having to worry if I'm impressing someone. I have expressed anger and annoyance in these discussions as well as joy and excitement. It depends on the conversation.

The "falling in love" that I'm referring to is that wonderful world of discovery that happens when you meet someone new, see the tip of their iceberg, and quickly find yourself wanting to know more and more about them, and hoping that you'll hear from them again and again. For me, that person's age, looks and gender are totally irrelevant, as long as they "give good thread."
