Please, please *please* use some indicator to show you're quoting text and
*wrap your lines*, manually if necessary (as I do).  Many people use text-only
mailers and/or html-enabled mailers that don't wrap the lines unless they
think it's html.

Regarding the text of your e-mail... yeah.  I won't bore you with homilies.
I was interested by what you say about the path of emotions, though.

It's a pity that there is a "side" to this issue, though I think a number of
people feel threatened by Ranma's emotional path in this story... Him,
the quintissential macho and a character I imagine a large number of
people would like to identify with, suddenly projecting something that
scares some people.  (Many people?  A good way to get into a fight
is to challenge a (typical) guy's masculinity.  Trouble is, many people
on this list aren't typical.)
