Yea, Anita! It's nice to see when somebody gets me. (I'm sure she's not 
alone. There are others that no doubt feel the same way.)

I'm serious about not identifying myself as poly anymore. It's definitely 
due to issues surrounding identity politics as polyamory emerges as a social 
movement. But I hope most people are bemused by all this and realize it just 
points out some things to think about...maybe even some things they haven't 
considerd before.
