And I'm reasonably sure I don't want to be endorsing feelings of outright love for you. I suppose that fondness could be considered warm.

> DenebSorry, I was starting with the feeling of wanting a reply from me. It does depend on how loosely each poster defines "similar". Is there enough overlap to form a "subgroup" that can truthfully agree that they share something in common? I don't mean to put words in anyone's mouth or to push anyone to join such a subgroup. I'm just wondering if that's possible or if Deneb's alone.
