there are MANY teen mothers, most of them unwed.

Thank you, Oleg.  I keep kosher, and AFAIK I'm the only Israeli who
attended the 4th International Linux Kongress in Germany a couple of
weeks ago.  I have plenty of pictures, and would be glad to talk about
the Kongress in a social setting, but I WON'T do it in a place that I
have to bring my own sandwiches to.
