I've done a fair share of couch surfing and had my couches surfed ... since we're talking about guests, insults and contributions ... in the context of a, shall we say, "sharing" culture. the surfer is usually expected to contribute of some kind of kick down to the situation, provide some kind of help to keeping the situation going. after all, the surfer *is* getting quite a bit out of the situation, or he wouldn't be there in the first place. and if the situation isn't working out for the surfer, if he ain't feelin' the vide, the best thing to do is simply move on. hanging around crying about feeling dissed doesn't help anyone's situation. -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
