    If they come up with a vaccine that cures curmudgeonly-pointless-cynicism, I hope you'll be one of the first in line.

    Have the stars finally aligned? There's two 4 UID'rs and two 5 digit UID'rs who've posted within one good scroll wheel spin on this thread. Never thought I'd see the day when THAT happened... who knew discussing reproduction control would bring you tentacled, frothy horrors out of the ravening deeps!

    think I'm going to go run for the hills. If a 3 digit UID surfaces, Nyarlathotep can't be too far behind...

    Seems the more healthy and well off we are, the less kids we have.

    That's true. As soon as I could afford broadband my chances of having kids went waaay down.
