I really feel Thomas has some sort of serious personality disorder, which he may be well aware of. I think he keeps silent to hide it from other people. He has no desire for anyone to know who he really is. abovethelaw.com Anyway, here’s the data, from a poll in which almost 1500 votes were tallied: As one of you noted, the results basically form an inverted bell curve.
