spending much too much time at the Forge I am going to miss you. Don't stay away for too long. I realize that there is a life beyond The Forge, I just don't like it that much 
. So hurry back as often as you can.

To whom it may concern: I have been spending much too much time at the Forge recently. Not that I enjoy it, but Alas, there is life beyond the Forge and I actually have one! One reason I have been spending so much time is that I chat a lot. So I am going to cut down on my chat time and, in particular, I will not chat while working.
. So hurry back as often as you can.
Prob:
You are so sweet!
Re my message 5321: It doesn't mean I will never chat, it just means that I won't chat for more than about 15 minutes a day. Or such is the plan!
I will still be working on bots and posting things on various forums!

Irina, I understand. Pop in when you can ;-)
SubliminalLiar, I am glad you got a source on those definitions. I wonder what jurisdiction they were based on? The model code did not read like that back when I was in law school, though in common law there used to be a gender issue and a "not his wife" requirement. I never practiced criminal law, but I believe most US states now have a variety of sex crimes that may or may not use the label rape, and that they are gender neutral (i.e. a woman can be a sex offender if she commits the unwanted acts).
I will go look up the "impersonates the husband of the other woman." That's the first I have ever heard that. I am fairly sure it is not in any Illinois code that way.

PS Just noticed it's a UK site. I'll bet they actually had a case like that and that "impersonates her husband" was added in your common law. I'll still go and look.
Bev:
Sometime ago, Bev, you said there was some research showing that solving a difficult intellectual problem was similar to [blush!]. May I trouble you for a reference on that?

Not world wide. There are still countries where the same rules of rape apply. Even in the "enlightened" countries people still think in terms of "she deserved it".
Irina, it was specifically math and it released endorphins (much like a runners high or that thing that suddenly makes you blush, oh shy and innocent child). Let me look and see if I can Google it.
