  Good idea but it is 6 words. I guess you need to eliminate the "sex"

  Hey, thanks!
  
  although now I think admire or appreciate might be a better 2nd word than the simple "see"
  
  anyway, taken together, all the entries sum up the hobby pretty well, with it's fun and foibles
  
  thanks again to mgoodm3 (Mark)
