Just one more kink for the record.;-) There are times when I cannot put
a name to a face for the life of me. But, when I finally break down and
ask someone else, I almost never forget that match-up afterward. I was
just wondering if this is a personal quirk [one of many ;-) ] or if
other people experience the same thing. And yes, I'm one of the
left-handed female contingent.;-)

I'm a right handed man. I remember faces very well, but often have
difficulty putting a name to a face if I haven't been dealing with the
person on a fairly regular basis. I also forget names as soon as I'm
told them, a maddening failure at parties.

clark survey responses received--

re: willingness to support all clarks, a hard-core sociobiologist
would respond that Stephen is probably not related to all clarks,
and therfore should not feel inclined to support all of them.
At least that's what I think a hard-core sociobiologist would say.

I am curious whether there are any studies of the effects
on a left-handed person of being forced to change in childhood
to right-handed behaviour that have led to any valid generalizations.
