I don't put much stock in the idea of "generations" anyway.  At best
anything you can say about a "generation" as a whole represents some
sort of average.  I think that has less than no useful value for
describing a given individual who happens to fall into that group.

And for what it's worth, I reject the term "Generation X" totally
and completely and claim no association with that group and it's
supposed traits.  :-)



TTYL,



Phil
