That's just it -- it's not just for young girls. Is the show
running there? If so, watch it for a season. Then come back &
tell us what you think.

Sure, though I've only seen some jpg's from Usenet (both
sexually & not sexually related). Don't know the stories.

Uh, yeah. Scott, as you follow Buffy more closely than I (he's
obsessed;-), can you come up with some Buffy curse for us?;-)
