	So which do you suppose I am?  Thanks for your vote of confidence.

	You can have your opinion-- that's your right-- I don't agree with
it, however.  I've think that through whatever changes of self I happen to 
experience in life I probably always will always remain such.  It is one 
of the only things that has never changed about me.  I suppose that
someone who doesn't have any experience with actually belonging to the
gothic subculture and who has absolutely nothing real to base her views of
it upon *would* be the one to hold a low opinion.  Such people tend to let
the Media fill their head with cotton so that they don't have to actually 
explore for themselves what the subject of their criticism is all
about... because it's easier to judge a whole group of people without
doing any work to educate oneself.


	I don't find the need to wander around dissing a group of people
for their music or style, though you seem to find in such some sort of
reward.  If you ask me, *that's* worthy of pity.  Gold star for you,
annie...

	Not so.  I am evidence to the contrary.

	Amazing, she can tell me my future too, folks!  Your high horse is
imagined, annie.  Come down from that tree before you fall and land flat 
on your ass.  You've impressed no one by taking such a transparent 
elistist attitude.  You've demonstrated a quaint lack of class for us all.
