As I said, I think that House *does* influence behavior. That's what I mean when I say that you *can* reasonably stereotype a Dragaeran house without necessarily indulging in bigotry. The question is how *much* influence does House have. I don't think that we've had a large enough sample to make determin an answer to that question beyond that they are more influence than humans are influenced by our racial difference, but that the actual degree remains undecided. >Note also that our sample size for Houses beyond Dragon and Jhereg is >rather small so my speculations sadly tend to be based on individuals. Which is precisely the problem, IMO. :) >I disagree about What A Wonderful Chemistry but it doesn't matter. Given that it's an aesthetic opinion, I can't tell you that you're wrong, but I am interested in knowing why you would disagree. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
