Post #37,398 by ben_tilly 5/3/02 7:28:47 PM Reply	Drop the other side of the implication Not only are not all bad things traumatic, but not all traumatic things are bad. Events such as weddings and the birth of a (wanted) child can be quite traumatic but they are not (some cynics notwithstanding) bad. Cheers, Ben "...
