Someone unrelated we        converse with (say one to one via email or even over the phone)        is less likely "to get involved" with the family members        directly.              --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: Stare into this point intently ->.<- (1:153/757.21)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 305 134/100 153/0       SEEN-BY: 153/143 148 149 151 153 757 6809 7715 154/30 110 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 229/110 275 300 307 317 426 428 470       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 705 240/1120 280/464 5003 291/111 292/854 8125       SEEN-BY: 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 396/45 423/120 460/58       SEEN-BY: 460/256 1124 5858 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 2320/105 5015/46       SEEN-BY: 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35 5080/102       PATH: 153/757 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
