Is the tuning appropriate? There is the social aspect, but what I'm referring to are the bar fixtures that head to the bar after work, drink awhile, then home to dinner and go to bed. For those folk the only social aspect is public drinking. I used to stop by the bar and drink with co-workers, but it wasn't long before it got boaring and life felt like it centered around work and drinking. I joined other social clubs that weren't about sitting in a clubhouse and drinking. --- þ Synchronet þ The Cave BBS - Since 1992 - cavebbs.homeip.net .
