For the record, Lizzie's not nearly as shy as she thinks she is. Or maybe she's just brazen around me. Regardless, she seems to feel no compunction about walking up to me, indicating a person near me with whom I appear to be conversing, and asking "is this someone I should know?" Which I think is a brilliant method of gaining an introduction, for those who aren't quite ready to just walk up to unknown person directly and say "are YOU someone I should know?" Which, granted, might gain one odd looks. But then again, if you're not worried about odd looks I think THAT would be very effective too. :) Bravo Lizzie! - -- Lori ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 02 Dec 1999 19:40:24 GMT From: "Veronika Berchtold" Subject: Gateway down again?
