Mellowguy, even though we've beat this poor dead horse into hot springs hell, you had asked for more comments from female soakers. Here's one directed at you that I just saw over at soakersforum:
"as a female soaker who usu. goes solo to hot springs, I would be HIGHLY uncomfortable with a couple that was getting "intimate" in the spring--I really cannot believe you continue to push your agenda of how rude it is for people to not allow couples the privacy to share romantic moments in PUBLIC areas--YOUR behavior is the type that is frowned upon, and often posted in the rules, if there are any..."
In conclusion, like Wizard, I hold no ill will toward you. You just to realize that many other soakers ,including myself, agree to disagree with you..
