> I have some questions on gates, in general. It seems to me that gates are an entrance or exit in an otherwise impassable fence. Aren't fences meant to keep people out (as in the defences around cities of old) or to keep people in (as in the Berlin Wall). Fences may make good neighbors, but they aren't the best way to get people to live together as one. - Cam
I think he is due back any time. There is a Far Side cartoon about fences and territorial markings that is pretty good (a suburban privacy fence thicket). Interestingly, I found the lack of fences across several neighbors' property lines attractive when I bought my house. It makes everybody's back yard seem like *everybody* owns several acres. Of course, nobody had any LARGE DOGS they needed to keep out of other people's yards.
