2). What's polyamory, then?


     (Glad you asked that. ;-) ) Polyamory means "loving more than
     one".  This love may be sexual, emotional, spiritual, or any
     combination thereof, according to the desires and agreements of
     the individuals involved, but you needn't wear yourself out
     trying to figure out ways to fit fondness for apple pie, or
     filial piety, or a passion for the Saint Paul Saints baseball
     club into it. "Polyamorous" is also used as a descriptive term by
     people who are open to more than one relationship even if they
     are not currently involved in more than one. (Heck, some are
     involved in less than one.)  Some people think the definition is
     a bit loose, but it's got to be fairly roomy to fit the wide
     range of poly arrangements out there.
