Hi Sandra ~

And your reason[s] for not including the option "All of the above" would be?

Dear Sandra,
If we let the statement "L.C. fans are well-educated" =A,
"L.C. fans are sensitive"=B,
"L.C. fans are melancholic"=C,
"L.C. fans are depressed"=D,
"L.C. fans are rich"=E,
and "L.C. fans are idle"=F,
then in addition to the three combinations you offered, i.e. A&B, C&D, E&F,
there are no less than twelve other combinations of two of your six categories, namely...
A&C, A&D, A&E, A&F, B&C, B&D, B&E, B&F, C&E, C&F, D&E, D&F.
Now if you were to add the word "not" to each of the original six statements, this would produce fifteen more combinations of two.
Throwing in combinations of statement and a negative (excluding statement and its own negative, e.g. A & not A ), there's a healthy confusion of choice :lol: .
As for me, I guess I'm L&C.
Andrew :wink:

Right Sandra, too many combinations for a poll. Too few to describe all of the beautiful losers I met around here...

Andrew, L&C is not too bad a combination (that's what Leonard's parents must've thought as well...) But why not include three-, even four-letter words? (In some threads, at least, they almost jumped to my lips...)

The only commom traits I've noticed in LC fans (apart form their obvious fascination with LC's work) is a tendency to emotional turbulence and an extreme sensitivity to slights and criticism, whether deliberate or inadvertent or implied or perceived.

Honestly, have you people no respect for the hard work and effort which Andrew Mc carries out on our behalf?
Look to his environs! Anyone with a modicum of sensitivity would realise that Andrew has to suffer for his art in a way which most of us can only try to imagine! Andrew has to wear as many combinations as possible. He's not in the upper reaches of Finland or Canada, but I know that even in the middle of Summer, Andrew's combinations can be glimpsed (from a discreet distance) when he tends his fire nestling on the banks of his loch, as he prepares his morning porridge. No muffins can compare with Andrew's porridge, freshly strained through his spare combinations! :wink:

Why Meat Loaf? (I could get paranoid and say that it's cos I look like him) I would like to think that this is spoken in haste and you will realise that objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are

Jo

I'm afraid I'm offended by your implied insult that LC fans are insulted by the implication of being offensive.

Byron

Shame on you for mentioning muffins - paula h has decreed that that topic is no more, it has ceased to be, it is an ex-topic.

JTS, no offence. It was because in your options you said "2 out of 3 ain't bad"...........................a meatloaf song success.
I was trying to be witty
