      None, we've never observed it. I spent $1300 on a weekend away last week though ( but it had nothing to do with Valentines Day ). Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002

We're going down to the docks to see if we can find anyone selling a fresh Spring Salmon (aka king salmon to any U.S. people) which I will cook into a great dinner with Rissoto and roasted plum tomatoes with green beans and champagne.

                                      I think I speak on behalf of nearly all male north americans over the age of 22 when I say I hate that valentines day CRAP but we're all roped into it aren't we? We're going down to the docks to see if we can find anyone selling a fresh Spring Salmon (aka king salmon to any U.S. people) which I will cook into a great dinner with Rissoto and roasted plum tomatoes with green beans and champagne.
