Good point, XPhial [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

No, I'm not going to attack you for your choice of analogy...

(For those who prefer a more "literary" analogy, think of Shakespeare. We all know that Romeo and Juliet will come to a bad end, that Macbeth will be done away with, that Rosalind and Portia will find True Love, in short, that there will be lots of weddings if it is a comedy, lots of people dying if it is a tragedy, or the British monarchy going along on its merry way if it is a history. But for many people it is nevertheless enjoyable to read and watch the dialogue, and to see the actors in a particular production bring the well-known characters to life).
